Darkbrown coloured beer with small brownish head and lots of carbonation. Full malty fruity nose with some roasty hints. Full creamy slight sparkling palate. Finish is malty alcoholic with sweet roasted bitter and dry ending. Nice flavoured beer.

Very dark brown, a reddish shine at the light, with a good sized head, but won’t stay very long that good. Dark fruits, malts and spices. Caramel. The taste isn’t to bad, but a bit simple. Slightly hops, malted, herbs, sweet caramel. Slightly some dry earthyness gets trough at the end.

Bottle. Fruity, berry nose, with chocolate, spice, caramel. Flavor is slightly roasty too with just a touch of coffee  going the something like bubblegum and cola as well. Rather light in body, unlike a dubbel. too soda-pop like. Way too sweet.   

Bottle. Hazy brown color, small tan head. Aroma of caramel. Taste is similar. Simple.

Dark, dark - almost black - brown pour. Small off-white head that barely leaves behind any lacing as it dies down superfast. Dynamite Hack style. Metallic aroma, a little bit of a cat piss type hop aroma. Acidic bite in the taste. Very dry and unpleasant. Not a good beer, at all.
