Sampled @ Pint Winterbierfestival Gouda, 2016. Clear dark orange color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, sweetish, slightly floral, slightly yeast. Hmm a bit hard to describe. Ok beer, but not very interesting imo.

From bottle at Winterbierfestival Gouda 2016. Clear, dark amber with a thin, frothy, tan, layer. Sweetish-malty, spicy aroma of raisins, brown sugar, red grapes, some oak and caramel. Sweet, malty, spicy, slightly sourish taste of raisins, brown sugar and caramel, followed by a medium long, yeasty-spicy finish. Medium to full body, creamy mouthfeel, flat. Nice!
Bottle sample at PINT Winterbierfestival ’16. Amber-brown colour, light-beige head. Aroma is sweet, brown sugar, more sugar, hint of dark fruits, plastic. Flavour is likewise, really lacks depth and flavour. Medium bodied at best, a bit over-carbonated.

Thank you for sharing people! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Gouda Winterbier Festival 2016”. Deep red amber with only a few tanned bubbles. Nose is overly sweet sludgy syrup, sweet, sugar, dark fruits.Taste is massively sweet sugar, cereal, candy, sugar, brown sugar, caramel, dark fruits,… Body is just sugar. Excessively sweet & not much else. Okay.
Pint Winterbierfestival, Gouda 2016. Gedeeld met de hele clan! Ik zit nu in de trein te raten, maar ik had beter bier kunnen blijven drinken, tsjeezus ... Lang leve de ns.... Caramel met fijne licht kaki lacing. Aroma van alcohol, graan, wat fruit, zoet. Smaken evenzo. Pruim, alcohol, donkere fruiten, zacht, smooth, medium body, maar wat blijft hangen is een woord.... Marshmallow. Verder best wel ok
