Bottle from Bier Koning. Dark plummy colour. Some head. Caramel nose. Strong taste of dark fruits. Malts, raisins. Too sweet and alcohol not well hidden. Not a keeper.

As a previous rater said and as can be seen in the overall ratings this is the best EleganT beer by far. Dark, molasses, little coffee, warming great winter beer. Foamed somewhat out of a duvel-type bottle (not as show on the picture). Bottle from De Bierwinkel in Leiden.

UPDATED: MAY 30, 2011 Dark brown body with a large brown head. Aroma is very yeasty with caramel and hay. More foamy in the mouth than usual with these dark beers, but there is an interesting taste to it. Clearly leans on its malts, which makes the beer one sided but definitely interesting. Best of this brewer. (1,75 EUR, 33cl bottle)

330 ml bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2010 Dark brown colour, strong lasting foamy head, which turns to mush. Slightly fresh scent, some hops, some orange, lightly smoked with some yeast. Strong yet easy to drink, slight hint of caramel.

Dark brown with a very large foamy head. Faint aroma of coffee, caramel, dark malts and a bit sterile. Taste of coffee, hops, raisins and dark malt, bitter and sour. Has a medium sour finish. Very enjoyable. The best from EleganT.
