330ml Bottle: Very sweet aroma. Smells of malts, candi sugar, plums, honey, and general sweetness. Poured orange/amber/copper in color with a small, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Not sparkling. Full of large particles. Flavor is incredibly sweet. Tastes of malts, honey, candi sugar, bread, yeast, and some hops in the finish. Full body. Thick, oily texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet honey and slight hop finish.

Bottle. A golden, hazy beer with lots of floaties and a beige head. Fruity aroma with some spices, pale malt, yeast and a funky sourish, barnyardish touch adding a nice dimention to it. The same sourish, yeasty and barnyard is found in the flavor, only more evident than in the aroma. Quite fruity and bitter too. Full body, quite effervescent. Sour and fruity finish in a nice blend. There’s alcohol evident, but it’s well hidden for a 9% ABV beer, but it gives some warmth in the mouth. Overall, this is a beauty. (080426)

Pours cloudy orange/amber, with a white head. Aroma is loaded with fruit. There’s some malt there, too. Flavor is fruit, sugar, spices, and yeast. A decent brew.

Bottle, Gollem, Amsterdam, Pours a slightly cloudy golden colour with a decent head and some floaters..Lots of fruit in the aroma. Spicy and sweet taste. Smooth and very full bodied. Long and strong, but the alcohol is far from overwhelming. Clever stuff., another please...!
