UPDATED: DEC 18, 2023 Helder donker robijnrood bier met een vingerdikke crèmekleurige schuimkraag van fijne structuur waar een randje van blijft staan. In het aroma ruik ik melkchocolade en gedroogde rode vruchten. In de zachte smaak komt dit eveneens naar voren, met een licht bittere afdronk.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2023 Bottle pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is prune, cherry, toffee, light vinegar. Quite sweet on the flavor, dark fruits and toffee with light spice and acetic notes. Full body, fairly smooth. Decent. When you drink this in the country it’s like the song “Honkytonk Badonkerdonk”

UPDATED: JUN 2, 2023 Servida en tulipa. Color marrón oscuro, con destellos rubíes, espuma beige muy esponjosa, compacta y duradera, el aspecto que presenta es excelente. Y si bueno es su aspecto, su aroma es espectacular, sabroso, complejo, rico en matices, notas de malta tostada, levadura, caramelo, frutas de hueso maduras, dátiles, guindas en almíbar, ciruelas pasas, melaza, especias, plátano, pastel phosquitos, frutas de Aragón... En boca es robusta, completa, de entrada marcadamente dulce, inunda el paladar en una explosión de matices que hacen honor a su aroma, profunda, muy licorosa, calienta el pecho y la boca y proporciona calma y regocijo al espíritu. Una cerveza extraordinaria, magnifica, Viva kasteel Donker
