Drunk on Tap at the Rake, SE1. Great beer - amber and cloudy, small head, but strong lacing. Sweet, full of berry fruits and jammy-ness. Very smooth finish, quiet light bodied, hard to believe it’s 9%. A very dangerously morish beer.

Apr 28, 2008 Bottled at Monk’s Café,Stockholm. Hazy dark amber, dense head. Yeasty nose with a lemony tang - typical ’t IJ style. Floral and grassy with a body that is slimmer than expected. Fruity and vinous with some caramelly malt and striking resiny bitterness.

Apr 26, 2008 Ruddy dark copper at teh edges with a deeper reddish brown in the middle. The head is yellowish khaki and is long lasting. The aroma is rich caramel and cherries with some cinnamon rasin bread. The taste has some notes of toffee and black tea. There is also some woody resin. Thick and sticky in the mouthfeel, this is a sipper. Nicely made.

Mar 22, 2008 Pours a dirty caramel color with billowy rocky head, bits of yeast on the head as well. Looks like dark tea after adding lemon. Yeasty sweet, caramel, some tart spicy alcohol, some raisin. Spicy alcohol up front, peppery, sharp bubbles, slight sweetness on the middle with sharp bitterness on sides and back of the tongue. some metal on the finish with some astringency and bandaid. Some vegetal notes on the finish. Fruityness opens as it warms. Pretty complex but a little hot and unbalanced I feel.

Rich orangy brown, massive tight head. Big fruity and spicy aroma - clove and dark fruits - some malt too. Big malty sweet taste - some sour tinge too. Warming alcohol and fruity - solid malty brew.
