boFNjackson (2705) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JAN 16, 2012

Bottle... Poured dark golden with a white-ish head. Bread-like character with loads of yeast spice, esters, and even a hint of tartness. Burnt, toasted caramel-like malts to balance the heavy dose of yeast.

BeerNeedy (111) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - JAN 14, 2012

Poured from the bottle, this hazy yellowish ale had a remarkable aroma easily decernible from a distance. A full bodied flavor followed that was the perfect after dinner libation that finished strong but at the same time mellowly.

Chuckaduck (266) - California, USA - JAN 14, 2012

Pours a pale green-gold with a thick white head. Aroma is sour apple, vanilla, cloves and possibly pickles (?). Taste is solvent, sour fruit, pine, spice. Pretty good overall.

ddemmingjr (306) - Chagrin Falls, Ohio, USA - JAN 7, 2012

Bottle brought back from KC- pours cloudy, brownish amber, decent head. bottle aged for a year but an original batch so 4 years old. Distinct De Proef yeast, bread, caramel malts, subtle spice, cream soda on the nose. rich bread, honey sweetness, caramel, molasses, a bit of apricot, apple cider, cedar. wow, really complex and nuanced. medium finish and mouthfeel. Love De Proef distinctiveness.
