mrkipling (45) - Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 18, 2012
Nice copper hue and huge foamy head which quickly becomes freckled as it goes down. Slightly sweet, yeasty smell. Smooth taste; yeasty and fruity. Nice level of carbonation (not too much, not too little). The mouthfeel isn’t great and it gets a bit harder to drink as you progress. I far prefer other beers that are just as/more readily available. This is nice enough but kind of unremarkable.

77ships (976) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - FEB 18, 2012
33 cl. bottle sampled @ ’t Waagstuk – (A) brown/red/amber with an off-white head – (S) very sweet, brown sugar, dark fruits, berries, touch going almost liqueur – (T) very sweet boozy, almost reminds me of liqueur, fermented fruits, liqueur cherries, malts, caramel, candy syrup, brown sugar, dark fruits (raisins), boozy, touch sour finish – (B) touch sticky – definitely meant to be fake “higher” class/ abbey beer where you can feel the strength of its 10% in a slightly tacky way, quite successful for what it is, nice
