This is a hazy amber drink with a creamt light tan head and plenty of yeast particles drifting about. The aroma is a bready malt filled with light juicy fruits (cherry, plum, et cetera) and a heaping dosage of alcohol. Unfortunately, the latter dominates the flavor, although a sweet malt and fruity acidity manage to squeeze through to a small degree. The finish is fruity and alcoholic. Decent enough, I s’pose.

Murky amber color with a medium head. Bready aroma. A basic, malty brew with some alcohol notes on the end. A bit on the thin side.

Amber Body with Many Small Particles Floating Freely..and a Sandy Head Sprinkled with Nutmeg. Dry Fruit and Spice Aroma. Fruity, Prunes, Peppery...Medium Creamy Mouthfeel..with a Hot Black Pepper Aftertaste.. Very Drinkable. Recommend Not Looking Into the Glass to Increase Enjoyment.

Bottle. Semi-malty aroma. Muddy, dark yellow colour. Astringent, malty and moldy flavour with a little acidity. Bitterness is a little too harsh for me. Malty/sweet aftertaste.

This was art of a nice tasting set from Bierkoning in Amsterdam. A nice presentation in the glass (alas not a Trappist glass) with a rich amber colour and a creamy head. A good whiff of diacetyl here in a positive way with undertones of the type of mixed fruit you get in a Christmas pudding. Definite alcoholic mouthfeel and a good dry aftertaste.

Bottle. Dark golden colour with a medium white head. Malty fruity aroma and a malty butter caramel taste. Medium body and a sweet light spicy finish.
