Tap@LocusDelft. First glass from a new barrel. Grassy, light herbal, light malty, orange and bit alcoholic aroma. Clear, ruby/brown color, beige fine head, good lace. Sweet, rather bitter, well hopped, malty, prune, hint of licorice. Sticky mouthfeel, medium body, lightly warming. Nice.

Bottle 33 cl. Aroma is both hoppy and sweet spicy. The taste is a bit sweet, I detect cinnamon and ripe dark fruits, mostly prunes. A bit too sweet for me, like they added some unnatural sweetness too. A good winterwarmer though

A clear brown colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma of caramel sweet malts and fruits. The taste is fruity like berries, malty and sweet with a little bitter and spices in the back. The aftertaste is some bitter with spices.

I like this beer, mix between brown wheat bread but with some added sugar. Caramel and some nice alcohol too. Might be a tad too sweet.

Bottle: Clear, deep ruby-amber coloured, foamy off-white islets on the surface; sweetish caramelly-fruity (dried fruits, as usual) nose; moderate sweet flavour, relatively light bodied; coriander (?) in the sweet-fruity finish. Not bad, but too tame........

Bottled (BB 03/2009). Deep ruby red color, good creamy beige head, lace. Spicey (clove, cardamon) caramel malty aroma with metallic notes. Medium-bodied. Same spices in the flavor. Caramel malts, alcohol less dominant than 8.5% indicates. Feels more lager than ale. Similar to the old version, but this one has more body.
