5 - 7 December 2025. Holiday retreat at Houffalize. Cheers!
Bottle from Stacks. Bottled: 9/07/2024. Hazy dark brown, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of prune, raisin, hard caramel, brioche, red apple peel, pear, almond, vanilla, bourbon, leather. Taste has sweetish prune & raisin, some sourish brambleberry in a caramelly, almondy and rye-like malt body with some spicy notes and herbal liquorice. Herbal hops in the finish, lingering dried fruits, sourish tannins and warming bourbon alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Lacks a bit more body and the sourishness detracts from the main profile too.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 17.07.2024/bbe 17.07.2029) im 2025-06 getrunken. Ein echt spannende Interpretation eines sehr klassischen Bierstil. Der Roggeneinfluß und der Einfluss von Ostfladerns, wo Struise braut, bringt eine feine Frucht ins Ale. Und ist da eine Robustasäure im Glas? Spannend! Auf hohe 10% hätte ich blind nie getippt. Ein tolles Bier!
