Hazy murky brown with beige fading head. Spicy aroma with a funky hint. Tast is spices, yeast, butter, bit of sourness. Typically Texels with more spices. Ok body and soft carbo.

(Draught at De Paas, Den Haag, 21 Feb 2013) Cloudy brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with caramel, dark bread, chocolate and dried fruit. Malty taste with notes of caramel, dark bread, dried fruit, raisins and a fairly sweet finish with a mild spicy bitterness. More than medium body, fairly sweet. Nice one.

Nice sweet amber beer.

Poured a murky brown with a small off white head. Aroma of spiced malt and dark fruit. Medium body, flavour of plum and raisin, quite dry and bitter sweet.

The beer in the glass is copper-colored, with a flat, soapy head and many yeast particles in the glass. It smells yeasty and sweet, subtly spicy-malty and alcoholic. Starts caramelly, with a lot of yeast and brown sugar, overall very sweet. The middle part shows slightly alcoholic, sugary-sweet and malty, spicy with some caramel. In the background, a subtle hop flavor is noticeable. Goes into a yeasty, caramelly-sweet and slightly alcoholic finish!

aroma contains hops, spice, and caramel taste is caramel and molasses. not so good.

Bottle, 300 ml, at home. Poured into a tulip glass.ABV 7,5% Pours a light amber beer, with a big off white head, average retention and no lacing. Light roasted malts on the aroma, caramel, some spices. Taste follows the aroma, only not so much roasted malts but more of a caramel and chocolate/toffee taste. Overall quite sweet. Thin to medium body, light carbonation. Dry on the palate. Not bad, but it could use a bit more body and carbonation, as the end result is a bit watery.

Bottle 0,3ltr: Hazy amber coloured brew with a lot of taste of orange and citrus peels, so this beer end fruity bitter.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass quite dark, almost black, short living head. Starts warming-malty with fine spicy notes. Modest sourish background, not very roasty. Finish drier, but still well balanced. Nice!
