Purchased at De Bier Koning in Amsterdam on 5-25-03. Pours deep reddish brown. Steep, fluffy, seemingly everlasting, tan head. You could rest a dime on this! Nose is sweet but with a slight level of sourness or tartness about it. Dried fruit, malt, a hint of licorice, and flowers abound in the aroma. The taste is almost sticky sweet. Candy sugar, slight licorice, more fruit(plums?), and possibly molasses. Very rich beer. Finishes with a nice sweetened aftertaste. Smooth going down. Good beer!

Ripe apple and yeast aroma. Cloudy, orange color, small beige head, fair lace. Very sweet, very alcoholic, orange flavor, apple too, pretty hoppy and bitter finish. Full and burning in the finish. Nice beer but a bit unbalanced.
