Bottle. Pours very dark borwn. Some what cloudy. Dense tan coloured head. Spicy aromas with lots of yeast character and some dark fruits. Alcohol shows through a little. Flavours are quite sweet with a little of the rosted character and some alcohol coming through on the finish. Fullish mouthfeel.

While veering toward black, it has russet copper tones against light and a fluffy off-white head. This smells of shortcrust, sweet pastry, apples, cinnamon and that’s all I can divine, but that’s not a bad thing at all. Again, the first flavour is that of baking. Lush, warm, creamy and then there’s coffee and chocolate (good Dutch chocolate) and stewed fruits. This is lovely, and might addthat I was a real nerd and made sure I drank tis beer as close to the recommended 8 degrees celcius (my electronic thermometer said 7.8). I thoroughly enjoyed this beer and will enjoy the rest slowly and deliberately. While I’m doing so and the beer warms slightly, you get the characteristic banana cake and bubblegum.. Hmmm.

Dark brown with glowing red hue, thin dense head. Nose is malty sweet, dark fruit, nuts, banana, rum, spices. Taste malt, some caramel, burnt dark fruits, roasty bitterness, quite bitter with warming alcohol. Creamy texture with crisp bitterness. Very enjoyable, but hops are dominating the palate, where more maltiness was expected.

Bottle at yespr. Clear red brown coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and liquorice powder with notes of spices and alcohol. Sweet and fruity flavour of caramel, dried fruits, grass and hops with notes of alcohol. Warming alcoholic finish.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a clear orangey brown with a creamy and lacing beige head. The nose has some caramel but is dominated by ugly phenols. Solid body, sweet caramel, some banana and yeast, but again lots of phenols. Alcohol in the finish. 121010

50 cL bottle, courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours clear and golden orange to deep hazzlenut brown with a small tan head. Aroma is fruity and roasted malty. Sweet malty, breadish and slight fruity. Lasting caramelish and breadish. Mild acidic and fruity into a dry finish.

500 ml bottle Aroma: Cherry lambic and a touch of yeast. Whodathunkit? Looks like a bock. Appearance: Pours dark reddish brown with a deep frothy head that dissipates to a fine layer and good lacing. Taste: A little sour, a little acidic and kind of sweet. Palate: Full bodied. soft carbonation, creamy and sticky texture, fruity, longish finish--a little sweet and sour. Overall: Lot of fun. Complicated and its a mouthful.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a huge tanned head. Superb nose that’s spot on for the style. Heaps of choc-caramel and banana goodness that’s balanced nicely with wheaty spice notes. The flavour is more rich and introduces dark fruit elements. It all works really well, and surprisingly easy to drink with the highish abv. Quite smooth with a subtle spicy finish.
