Bottled. Very deep amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is sweet malts, some alcohol and mild metal. Flavour is caramel malts and some mild notes of grass and spicyness. Quite watery feeling over it.

Red-brown colour, off-white head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavour is of malts, sweet and caramel. Sweet and dry aftertaste. One-dimensional. People at Gulpener just don’t know how to brew a decent beer.

Deep brown of color with a beige head. An aroma with sweets and spice. A flavor of sweets, syrup and spice.

Keg on tap at A ge Panne, Schin op Geul, NL Limburg. Dark brown with red hue, tan head. This is down as a Seizonbier, but it seems to be constantly available on keg at this wonderful pub on the valkenburg road. Heavy, sweetish and fruity, dark and deep in flavour. A late hoppiness completes a decent beer. Nice.
