Bottle. Dark amber color. Butter cookies and maple syrup in the aroma. Sharp alcoholic sweet flavor with some distant vinous notes and butterscotch. Oaky aftertaste. Not unpleasant but limited in depth.

Bottle, somewhat over date (bb 15 Sept. 2012). Brown color. Beige head, sticky, with some dark spots in it. Aroma’s: sweet malts, sugar, sweet & sour fruit, raisins, sweet spices, with red fruit/berries retronasal. Flavor is sweet, a bit alcoholic. Body is actually rather thin (for a 10%er). Not much happening in the finish. Nothing to do with a Bière de Garde. Not very exciting.

Bottle. Pours dark brown. Nose and taste of sherry, toffee, yeast, Burnt sugar, raisins and dark fruits. Medium body. Finishes with touch of alcohol.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, ruby amber colour with a big and beige foamy head. Yeasty, bready and mildly toasted malty aroma with notes of candy, raisins and a tinge of alcohol. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Bready toast-malty taste with caramel and mildly vinous fruity notes of raisins, cassis and plums; sweet and delicately bitter finish with present fruity notes and a warming alcoholic strength. My favourite Jessenhofke so far. 21.II.13

(750ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye) clear deep copper with soda-like fine tan bubbles. Nose of caramel, light brown sugar, and agave syrup. Taste of alcohol, toasty, sweet, well carbonated, odd medicinal linger.

33cl bottle from Ekoplaza. Thick white head. Clear amber pour. Nice brew.

dark brown colored body with an off white head and a malty fruit hoppy aroma a malt hops fruity alcholic bitter taste and a alcholic bitter finish

Brown coloured beer with small white head and no carbonation visible. Sweet malty aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is malty roasted with some alcoholic hints.

33cl Bottle from an EKO-shop. Clear reddish brown colour, off-white head. Aroma of plums, alcohol, dark fruits, caramel, hint of cocoa. Flavour is sweet, malty, dark fruits, plums, raisins, cocoa, strong alcohol, alcoholic bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Could do with a bit less alcohol. BdG?
