Commercial Description:
This beer looks like it means business right from the start. It is dark red brown with a good fluffy head and has a rich spicy malt nose with a few bitter orange notes. The palate has a big hoppy bite and a rich, fruity, dark coffee character, which tries to become roasted in the finish.

33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Very deep ruby brown clear. Thick rocky beige head. It’s a pretty decent brune. Some good strong malts. Some toffee and choc. Lots of dry malt on aroma. I thought that this was a pretty drinkable solid brune.

A 0.33L bottle tasted at Tuulesuu. Pale small head. Slightly hazy amber colour. Mild slightly telike taste. No sweetness. Slightly sour. Not so hoppy.

Bottle. Tre Små Rum. Gothenburg. Reddish brown colour with an off-white head. Aroma: light sweetness, spices, mild roastiness and yeast. Taste: Spiciness, light roastiness, sweetness, tea, mild tartness, a bit of dark fruit. Almost no alcohol detected. Actually rather crisp and easy to drink.

Sometimes a beer just appeals to your senses perfectly. I loved this baby. Pillowy tan head and a brownish red body. Malt nose was quite sweet with plenty of spices as well. Taste began with hoppy flowers, but soon had prunes, plums, and apricot with a bitter coffee presence at the end. Behind it all though, I detected a goregous raspberry that reminded me of a lambic. This pushed me over th edge, I am in love with this beer. Soft and fizzy palate was superb as well.

End of the year rate-a-thon continues. 750mL cork and wire into a large Duvel tulip. Pours murky dark brown with no clarity and a medium head. Just your basic beautiful Belgian pour. Aroma is strong with a hit of lightly syrupy, raisin sweet, slightly spiced, black bread. Its got airiness of a Belgian yeast as well. Its strong and a bit young, just can tell its a bit too aggressive. I feel like this aroma will come together even better with time. Taste is again lightly syrupy sweet with a lightly empty raisin flavor. Just seems to be a bit lacking with a slightly thinner body. Ends with a stale, lightly empty aftertaste.
