Bottle. Massive gusher. Pours muddy brown coloured with lots of floaties. Nice creamy off white lasting and lacing head. Aromas of cherries, dried fruit, marzipan and yeast. Flavours of caramel, syrup and sweet malt. Messy product with a lovely aroma.

Pours out heavily with lots of foam and yeast in the bottle. Half the bottle disappears on the table. What remains is a hazy dark brown glass, with a dense creamy head. Aroma of caramel, clove, nutmeg and coriander. tastes very caramel-like, a bit sweet and also alas a bit watery. I miss the balance in this beer.

Pours a hazy coppery orange color with an enormous solid orange/yellow head. Aroma of citrus, orange, a bit dusty, dark malt and alcohol. Wonderful bittersweet taste that starts off sweet with hints of peach, orange and citrus and then completely turns over into a dry bitter finish with malt notes and some hoppyness that lingers on and on. Also very well carbonated. Nice one.

Bottle (in NZ) - lively pours, a hazy dark amber with a large frothy yellowish head. On the nose - medicinal, toffee, some fruit, and slightly nutty. Fruity and spicy, with warming alcohol on the palate. Big and bold, but just doesn’t ruffle my feathers.

Had this from bottle at the brewpub, Amsterdam, 27th Oct 2009 Pours hazy dark brown with an off-white filmy head. There are malts and hops in abundance on the nose and also in the mouth along with a nice chewiness, bit of banana and a very nice warmth from the alcohol. Soft in the mouth, good spiciness, powerful brew, but tasty stuff and the third very nice beer from this brewpub. A7 A4 F7 P5 Ov15 3.8
