Bottle. Semi-malty aroma. Muddy, dark yellow colour. Astringent, malty and moldy flavour with a little acidity. Bitterness is a little too harsh for me. Malty/sweet aftertaste.

Hazy dark golden beer with a white head. Sweet fruity aroma with a light spicy note. Fruity and yeasty flavor with a dry finish.

This was art of a nice tasting set from Bierkoning in Amsterdam. A nice presentation in the glass (alas not a Trappist glass) with a rich amber colour and a creamy head. A good whiff of diacetyl here in a positive way with undertones of the type of mixed fruit you get in a Christmas pudding. Definite alcoholic mouthfeel and a good dry aftertaste.

Bottle. Dark golden colour with a medium white head. Malty fruity aroma and a malty butter caramel taste. Medium body and a sweet light spicy finish.

Very dark gold in colour, with a long lasting creamy white head. Aroma of dark fruits, caramel and spices. Flavour has notes of prunes, caramel, raisins, chocolate and spices. Nice medium smooth mouthfeel. Good stuff.

bottle...I thought this was a lovely Brett beer...perfumey, fruity and funky...one of the best bottles I’ve had of it, and rivaling the fun of drinking it at the pub...this beer is back on my watch list now...but by nature, it can vary a good bit.

Bottle. Dark golden with large, dense, long lasting head. Nice lace. Fruity (apples, prunes), spicy (little pepper?), notes of liqourice, dry. Good one. Thanks Jbrus.
