Just getting better and better when you take more of it

Wondedrful malty aroma, with a subtle noble hop background. Faint hints of honey. Dark gold color, with a dense, off-white head. Light palate, with a good balance of bitterness to round it out slightly. Flavor is malt upfront, with roasted/honey notes, followed by more noble hops. Great roasted malt tail.

30 cl. bottle @ home. Clear amber with a white head. malty flowery aroma. hoppy taste with some very faint roasted malts. Pilsenerlike in taste, yet more powerful and tastier.

Bottle. Pours a light body light amber, with a sickly looking offwhite head that rapidly goes down. Nose is a sweet metallic. Taste is sweet quickly taken over by the bitter of the hops. Fast hoppy finish.

Presentation: 12 oz brown bottle with a copper label. Says "Limburg Beer", although I don't know what that means. Pours a clear, light bronze color with white head and ample white lacing. Carbonation appears aggressive. Mild fruity notes on the nose, raisins, plums, banana. Sweet molasses is poured on that fruit as it warms in a pot. Medium to big mouthfeel, smacking of carbonation, however. Initially sweet with a hint of anise and molasses, and then a warming, brandy like alcohol sensation. This is in no way a pale lageras indicated above. It is more of a bigger lager like a Marzen, having some characteristics of a Flanders ale perhaps. 6.5% a.b.v. according to the bottle. Give this a try. It is a nice sipping beer.

This is a very nice beer. It has a malty palate, a syrupy mouthfeel and a clean finish. Nice color. I definitely can recommend it.

Amberkleurig, ruikt en smaakt een beetje als roggebrood. Lichtzoet in het begin, droogbittere afdronk. Niet slecht maar ook niet geweldig.

I liked this. However, this was my first Dort and think myself a little too "green" to discuss with any authority. It was fuller than a pilsner, less carbonation...nice flavor.
