Draught at the brewery, very dark brown with a large bubbly beige head. A dry malty aroma, some licorice in there, and vinuous notes. A medium and smooth mouthfeel with rich malty flavours and a light bitter finish. Was hoping for more, though still good.

On tap. Pours dark brown with a tanned head. Sweet with aromas of prune and raisins Also some yeast aromas. Hoppy bitter finish.

Bottle at Cafe Buitenlust, Oirschot. Dark brown color, off-white head. Smell sweet, malts and yeast. Taste malts and sweet. Average carbo, medium body.

It gives a very unique aroma of perfume and floral hops. Taste is very floral as well, reminds me of a garden

Deep chestnut-brown hazy hue, with a lacy head, spicy, malted-caramel, burnt brown sugar aromas, follow through a medium-bodied palate, with some fruity notes of prunes, dates, raisins, with a dark chocolate and caramelized malt note, and a hint of porto, in a soft warming malted finish

Deep dark murky brown color, small, but simmering, tan head. Aroma: mollasses, nuts, butter, cream, dates, raisins, dark rum, all the rich flavors one can imagine. Thick, full, hot mouthfeel, full body, tingly hops. Super-charged with hops, the flavor keeps on coming, simmers and stews, with a long lasting, rich, satisfying finish! Takes the cake for all brown ales everywhere, past, present, future. Round, delicious, sensuous, and utterly lip smackin’!

Pours a very dark murky brown with a a small fine beige head. Sweet fruity aroma, dark fruits, wet hay, some yeast, something sour, raisins and a touch of smoke. Interesting flavor, sweet dark fruits, raisins, a touch of chocolate, doughy, toffee, buttery, vinous/nutty, lots of candi sugar. A bit too much for me... needs more focus, too sweet. Medium/light watery body with ample sizzling fluffy carbonation. Weak finish.

Fruity and yeasty. Magnificant head and colour. Strong alcoholic notes in the palate.
