15:00 Just opened so just us four and two others. Enjoyed a snack of Dutch sausages and cheese. 28 beers on tap and an amazing list of bottled Dutch beers.

Back in Amsterdam, this time with a couple of girls so couldn't get away with going into too many beer bars. Really busy but managed to squeeze in at the back. I like this place, it has a really traditional Dutch feel to it and the beer's fantastic.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Bierbrouwerij Praght - Extra Stout8.00ExcellentRich dark stout with lots of chocolate and coffee. Really was excellent.
De Proefbrouwerji - SNAB Maelstrom9.80GoodSweet fruity beer, almost like a cross between a barley wine and a port. Really interesting and pretty good.

We found all the locals to be a little standoffish, however, once they knew we liked our beer they seemed to loosen up. The selection of beer available is incredible! Had a great time chatting to everyone, staggering back to the hotel was a bit of a challenge!
BeerABVScoreNotes
De Molen - Bloed, Zweet & Tranen8.20ExcellentA strong smoked stout. Very fruity with a lot of chocolate and roasted malt before the smokiness hits you. Really powerful beer.
De Molen - Amerikaans4.50ExcellentExceedingly hoppy and incredibly fruity. Grapefruit seems to dominate, little caramel at the end. Really good beer.
De Proefbrouwerji - SNAB Pale Ale6.30ExcellentCitrussy, hoppy beer with a nice caramel flavour to it. Brewed by one of the locals, very nice.
Brouwerij De Leckere - Blauwe Bijl10.00GoodBelgian strong ale. Very sweet with a bit of liquorice and malt. Certainly doesn't taste it's strength.
De Proefbrouwerji - Jopen Extra Stout5.50AcceptableI had high hopes, but this wasn't too good. A little watery and thin in the mouth. Chocolate and roasted malt but too little. Just not enough going on for a stout.
