A good friend and just returned from Holland after visiting his family, lucky for me he brought me back a few beers :beer:

I liked this beer the first couple of sips, then I found it to sweet and almost syrupy, it high in alcohol 7% and I had a strong after taste of this.
There are a few brewers I know seem not to be able to detect this taste, or like it I suppose, I have been given a sample of brews over the last few years that echo the after taste I get with this brew I don't personally like alcohol taste.
Depends on what you like hey?

A pilot mate of mine bought me back this minikeg of Pilsener from the Last Drop brewery. The keg was well travelled and had aged a few months but still a very drinkable pils. Certainly went down well on a brewday...

Kolsch from the Wig & Pen. Their first bottled beer (I'm fairly certain...).
Tasting very nice and reminding me that I have yet to brew one of these and it is long overdue...

Bought them both to expand my understanding of beer...they both definately did that for me. Das rauchbier fand ich nicht so toll...smelt like schinken...

Just when you thought you thought that you were only a hop head and needed a hop heavy beer to make you happy...comes along a maibock through american eyes...

Got this one a couple of years back. Bit of wierd one, as in it's brewed in Belgium by an Italian company...or something like that.
Strong Belgian in style (11%), but I found it rather intriguing indeed... Carbonation was low, aroma much like a tawny port, which a rich sweet body and warmth to add; lots sultana and raisin flavours in there.
Thoroughly enjoyed it either way!
