Hazy brown colour. Sweet candy aroma. Scents of dried cherries, apricots, etc come through. Flavour is similarly sweet with a degree of spiciness coming through.

Bottled in 2005. Brown color with floaties. malt, pineapple and porto in the aroma. Porto flavor with pineapple. Has thinned a bit over the years, but still ages well. Sweet and almost sugary.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Clear russet, lots of floaters. Thin beige head. Bit of rubber, lots of deep red fruit. Some burn from the alcohol. Decent seasonal beer, some good deep red fruit, some decent malt, good yeast character. But the alcohol is a little syrupy. Still, quite interesting.
