bweezy (53), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Jan 13, 2008 Pours a cloudy caramel colour with huge head. Pleasant fruity and "oaky" aroma. Slight initial bitter taste, sweetening as you drink it. Nicely done.

Sweet malty initial taste with hints of Molasses. Yeasty finish. Good tasting beer. daniele (721), Italy May 18, 2008 ambrato chiara schiuma media abbastanza peristente sentori fruttati cerali in bocca cerale alcool non morbida distillato MiP (4927), Flensburg, Germany May 11, 2008 Bottle, 10.5%. Spicy, citric aroma. The flavour is quite yeasty. The alcohol is quite apparant in the flavour and aftertaste. There is a strange plasticky bitterness in the aftertaste somehow. Must be from the jenever.
