33 cl bottle. Gorgeous looking beer with huge fluffy head on top of a hazy amber body. Aroma is funky and fruity and dominated by apricot. The flavor is sweet, malty and caramelly with hints of apples and almonds. A long bitter finish aids this beer in not being cloying, but unfortunately it also make it stand out a bit disharmonious. Lively mouth feel. The relatively high alcohol is extremely well hidden.

Some phenols in nose, some...orange cream muffin, some...cranberry jelly, some...sourdough bread. Overall abit heavy on the alcohol taste and the flavors are not integrated. Not entirely unlike a syrup and alcohol-laced tea eaten with neutral-flavored crackers. Am setting a few of these by to age. I sense some potential.

Cloudy amber pour with a ring of white lace. Aroma of fruits and yeast. Flavor of fruits and yeast. The body is light with a powdery texture and strong carbonation.

33 cl bottle. Yeast in bottom. Unclear amber colour with a nice lance head. Aroma of caramel with notes of toffee and sweet malt. Great flavour of malt with a spicy and alcoholic aftertaste. A very fullbody belgium style.

Hazy amber, nice offwhite head. Lots of yeast in the bottle. Nutty, malty aroma with fruity notes from figs and apples. Malty, quite strong flavor, nutty and fruity, and with a clear malty finish.

Bottle, sampled at The Rover, Göteborg. Dark amber colour. Dark fruity malt nose. LIttle licoricy underneath, bit roasty. Big mouthfeel with notes of sweet almonds, plum and a very round mouthfeel. This is a dry beer, still with residual sugars.

Thank you so much Jorrit for presenting this beer to me. I had this beer many times at the brewery but never rated that - so this time bottled:. Huge frothy white head that lasts for eternally. Hazy dark orange color - nearly light brown. Yeast nose - like rye bread dough. Beautiful taste, kind of peppery first followed by caramel, yeast and chocolate, finishing dry and hoppy.
