Bottle@ Kulminator. Best before 21/06/2011. Darker brown coloured beer with a short brown head. Rather yeasty herby and alcholic developed older aroma. Full rather heavy palate. Finish is spicy alcoholic with a full sweet herby and older creamy hinted ending. Still very good.

Original bottle from mid 70’s at Kulminator , same recipe
Head: none
Colour: almost black
Smell: sherry, calvados, malts, sweet, nothing like a beer anymore ( in a good way !! )
Taste: the aging of the beer brings so much flavours in it you can’t even imagine ... , mostly like the smell but with some much tiny little extra’s , you should drink it to really know it ... too hard to tell :)
