4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught at Ninkasi Public house Tel Aviv. Pours dark reddish-brown with full, light tan head. Nose: cinnamon, pepper, cloves - very rich and spicey. Bitter but sweetness reveals itself while sipping through. Full body, medium carbonation, long finish and all in all fun.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured, from a 330 ml bottle.
Very dark brown colour which turns to a deep amber against the light, with minimal bubbles. Head is brownish, leaving a light lacing on the glass as it fades out (fast).
Nice sweet aroma of vanilla and fruit.
Taste is bitter and follows the aroma, the 8% alcohol is not so obvious. Medium thin bodied on palate,lightly carbonation.
Overall a great brown beer that I would happily suggest.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle in Corsendonk tulip glass. Pours dark with an active foamy head which recedes quickly but leaves 1/2 a finger of foam on top which adheres and laces considerably. Aroma is Belgium malty yeasty smell but with sourness. Taste has that Belgian dryness. Very slight subtle alcohol bite, alcohol is otherwise well hidden, slight alcohol aftertaste. As it warms up and your palate gets accustomed the sweetness and flavors are more obvious. Tasty.
