Flavourful and dynamic. Slightly flat compared to Belgians but still a very worthy experience.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at some hotel bar in Holland. Roasted, caramel, esters and fruit aromas.Medium body, low carbonation. POurs dark brown, with thin tan head, non persistant, some lacework. Taste is malty, sweet caramel and alcoholic.Not well balanced, alcohol dominates all the senses. Palate saturating.
Tasted also in bottle, beeing more balanced with some aging.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
500 ml C&C bottle. Nice dark brown pour with beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, quite malty, lots of brown sugar, belgian yeast is fairly faint. Taste is sweet, more brown sugar, light vanilla notes. Palate is quite full bodied with medium carbonation. Coats the mouth and warms like a belgian strong should. Could smell a little more belgian.

Bottle shared at Rootz, The Hague. Clear dark amber pour with a small off white head. Aroma of dark fruit, malt and unfortunately too noticeable alcohol. Flavour is sweet malt, dark fruit, caramel and again, too noticeable alcohol going into the finish. Low carbonation and medium bodied. It’s much better aged a few years than fresh, the alcohol spoils it.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brown beer, with slightly colored fast fading foam head. Unleashes a pleasant beer smell. Sweet but also good bitter taste, good for a beer with this high alcohol percentage, beer for easy drinking.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Heel donkerbruin, de kraag zakt snel in en blijft als een dun laagje op het bier liggen. Ruikt fruitig en vol. Medium body, een zoetbittere smaak. Wel ok.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Café Boslust, Utrecht. On of my favourite Dutch beers. Pours mahonagy with an off-white head. It was served a bit too cold but from memory the aroma is rich with caramel, roasted malts and dried plums/raisins. Taste is full and satisfying. More malts and caramel and some nicely concealed alcohol. One of the great Dutch classics.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma is fruitig zoet, kruidig en fris hout. Fijne kersen smaak, met chocolade en rozijnen. Fijne schuimkraag. Van de tap @ Staccato.
