Our sacrifice to the beer gods. A nice firm maltiness with a sweetness. An altar full of hops. This combination gives The Ritual complexity and a good body. A ritual that makes this beer the ultimate sacrifice!

Bottle. Brown. Earthy, raisins, alcohol, earthy, brown sugar. Medium sweet and boozy bitter. Over medium bodied. Very boozy.

Good yellowish-russet head over veiled reddish brown beer. Banana, dates and an unpleasant ureum nose, wet infected rags. Tastes as if prematurely aged - or not completely fermented out? Bitter, inky bite over the syrupy underbuild. Again ureum retronasal. Hops come as an obligatory afterthought. Thick, syrupy, sticky. Good carbonation, alcoholheat. Ouch. Awful, IMO.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Kulenborgse Bierhandel.
Dark amber with an off-white head. Dark caramel aroma with some citrus hops and apricots. Sweet taste with a boozy but nice hopbitter finish.

Sinaasappel marmelade en redelijk wat hoge alcoholen. Toch zie je dit niet vaak meer en is het best smakelijk, hoewel ongepolijst

Clear dark amber colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have nice sweet bready malts. Sticky sweet and warming with a small level of bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Golden orange pour. Aroma of yeast esters, raisin, some vanilla, apricot, orange jam, malt and a little apple. Taste has boozy orange jam, malt, yeast esters, bitter apricot, little vanilla, bitter citrus, booze and a bitter boozy finish. Not very refined, just a boozy, bitter harsh strong ale.
