erickok (1086) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - MAR 18, 2012
Glowing amber body with rocky beige head. Delicate aroma, nutty, nutmeg, noble hops, matured cheese, some coffe even and a bit earthy. Very nice so far. Taste, unfortunately, is a bit disapointing. The fairly high carbonation and full enough body cannot bring more than a moderate bitterness and some roasty notes. Not especially challenging or complex. Malty sweetness provides the back bone. Maybe some extra of that sweetness would have been nice. Easily drinkable, though. (75cl bottle, labeled 2010 harvest)
