bottle from a local store in Nijmegen, amber with medium head. aroma is sweet and fruity, taste is somewhat different. a bit darker and hoppy (almost a bit smoked). a bit watery though. nice brew, not too interesting though.

A hazy dark reddish brown ale with a thick moka head. In aroma, a pleasant mix of pepper, cinnamon hearts, and peat. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt, with light Brett, and smokey peat notes. Medium bodied. Bottle bought at Cracked Kettle, Nov. 2006. BB 30/04/07. Tasted with Probstk, Jan 11 2009.

Bottle: Clear, shestnut-amber coloured, small off-white head with a good lace; sweetish caramelly-nutty nose with a good dash of smoked malt; relatively light bodied for a beer of 6.5%, moderate to solid sweetish-bitter flavour; lingering hoppy-woody-smoky finish with a caramelly "tail". Good smoked Bier......

(swing top bottle, purchased at the brouwerij) Clear, dark amber colour with a medium-sized and light beige foamy head. Sweet and distinctively smoke-malty aroma with a nutty touch and shy herbal hoppy notes. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied with a moderately carbonated mouthfeel. Robust smoke-malty taste with notes of caramel and herbal spice. Dry-out effect towards the smokey finish with nutty notes, caramel and a good dash of herbal hops at the very end (13.I.09).

0,5 L bottle shared by Lubiere (merci!), served cold in a goblet. BB 30-04-2007. JA11/09.

App.: Very cloudy deep amber with some large yeast flecks and a smallish tan head. Aroma: Quite fruity – cherries and lots of apple cider, some warm spices (cinnamon and cloves), very light funk. Palate: Medium-ish body and fairly lively effervescence. Flav.: Apple cider, a bit of cinnamon, a little caramel; somewhat bitter and a little off-dry.

Maybe a bit tired, but certainly in nice shape for its age!
