6th January 2008
Dark brown beer, malty and sweet. Hint of chocolate and some understated fruit. Sweet dry finish. Good carbonation.

500 ml bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu.
Pours a dark transparent brown colour with a foamy off-white head. The bottle is full of yeast. Aroma of vegetables, sweet malts and mild fruits. Flavour of yeast, vegetables, spices and sweet fruits. Medium bodied, thick mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Very foamy mouthfeel. Needs aging I think.

Draught at Tuulensuu, Tampere. Very murky light brown color. Tart, berryish and yeasty flavor with grassy and roasty bitterness. Looks very bad, does not taste much better.

Bottle, bought @ Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam.
Pours dark brown with light red edges. Medium, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has raisins, plums, light yeast, soft chocolate. Highish carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, malty, chocolate, plums, light vinious, raisins, caramel. Kinda delicious.

(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 2 Aug 2009) Hazy reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with notes of dark bread, dried fruit and raisins. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit, raisins and orange peel. Balanced spicy bitterness. Slightly above medium body, fairly sweet. Nice one.

Tap at Haarlemse Biermarkt: Hazy brown Dubbel with an great caramel taste. Bap means in the local Volendam slang "grandpa"
