Pours a dark amber colour with a thickish head. Smells of dark fruits and caramel. Palate is Very soothing and sticky with a very caramelly taste and hides the alcohol very well. Overall a very good beer and one perfect for a winters day.

fles 33 cl Kleur: amber/bruin met een creme schuimkraag. Geur: Licht zoetig (fruit?), Mout en hout. Smaak: Licht zoet, met een lekker bitter. Nasmaak van bitter blijft lang achter. Alcohol is nauwelijks te proeven.

(bottle) pours a slightly hazy deep amber colour with a frothy off-white head. aroma of caramel and dark fruit, with a hint of cardboard and notes of herbal hops, cactus juice and nettles. flavour is mostly bready pale malts, with a light to medium sweetness and a slightly herbal-hoppy finish, alcohol is nicely hidden. heavy-bodied with lively carbonation.

This beer has small head with an amber color. The nose has raisin. The flavor is raisin, followed by a crispness followed by a very coppery flavor. the finish a bit crispness and mineral but very round. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Rusty brown with noticeable carbonation, and a good pale head. Aroma is red fruits, caramel. Very well balanced on the palate, with some sweetness, subtle bitterness and a touch of sour on the finish. Taste is caramel, fig, dates, malt. Really enjoyable, great complexity.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark amber almost brown color - not what I was expecting. Aroma is heavily laden with wild honey, some grain, light grassy hops, but it is really the honey character that comes through. Taste is sweet honey, some cereal and very light hoppiness, especially sweet though. Palate is not sticky despite the very sweet flavor, pretty dry although not really relatively to other examples of this style. Not bad but a bit too heavy for me.
