TaxiDriver (1394) - Stadland, GERMANY - FEB 5, 2009
Bottle. The white creamy-foamy head is large and stays quite long. The body is clear and dark yellow. The aroma is very yeasty, light fruity and sweet, a little bit of alcohol. Overall a nice aroma. The taste is quite sour, especially the finish which is very long. The body is creamy and dry, quite strong with a lot of carbonation. A really nice strong ale.

Tranquillity (1373) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - NOV 26, 2011
Bottled. Explodes in the glass and turns into white foam. The beer looks like honey a bit and actually smells like it. Full taste, although not so original. I would absolutely have this again!
