Bottle. Pours dark dark brown. Aroma: Dark chocolate, coffee, pepper, dark fruits, smoke, wood and burnt dark malt. Flavor: Malt, chocolate, coffe, smoke, brown sugar,pepper and raisin. Palate is mediumbodied. Pleasent and quite long round sweet and in the same way hot aftertaste.

bottled, clear dark amber brown with medium tan head with a LOT of yeast sediment, aroma of raisins, sweet malt, brown sugar, sweet caramel flavor with alcohol notes that aren’t overpowering, heavily carbonated with residual fruit on palate, better when it warms, oddly very mellow

Pours a dark, nutty brown. Thick white head that QUICKLY dissipates until gone. Not lacing at all. Aroma strong of apples and yeast. Flavor has an instant flavor of hard apple cider. Slightly sour. Prickly/sparkly on the tongue. Very carbonated, almost like a soda pop. Body is a little light and I don’t really dig the carbonation. Not really my thing.

Bottle. Pours out with a creamy, almost cremecoloured head. Aromas of coffee, roasted malt and caramel. Drak-coloured. Tastes like roasted malt, some kind of nuts, intense. Finish is diminishing a little bit quickly.

Pours clear dark amber brown, with a good amout of carbonation. Aroma of dark fruit, sugary malt, light spice. Taste is similar with the sweet malt being the main flavor, followed by fruit, and light toffee. Mouth is lively and medium bodied. Overall, an interesting and very drinkable brew.

Bottle from Bert’s bierhuis, Utrecht NL. Beautiful dark-brown colour. Very dark with a lively head. Well carbonated. Aroma of chocolate with strawberry-green banana mix overtones. Or is it peaches? Apples too? :-) Bitter-sour in fine balance with the sweetness. Dark milk chocolate palate with a very subtle bitterness. The hint of alcohol reminds me of bonbons. Nice beer - the aftertaste is the best: it’s like you really just had a piece of chocolate.

Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, dark fruits. Taste is bready, spices, sweet at the end. Fizzy coating mouthfeel. Very good, but slightly underwhelmed.
