Bottle at 12.6% from the brewery. Pours clear orange tinged brown with a very transient head. Strong aroma of rye - light whiskey notes. Approaching full body. Flavor is pleasing slightly toffeeish malt with some whiskey and a firm rye spice aspect. Wood too. Not dry, but not sweet. Rye spice and perhaps whiskey sub for hop in the bitterness. Very tasty.

Shared at Jim's tasting. Hazy dark amber pour with a tan head. Notes of caramel, bourbon, light coconut, toffee, rye whiskey. Beautiful barrel character. Full body, light carbonation and a sweet finish.

Bottle at the JimGreen tasting, Den Haag, December 2017. Poured a slightly hazy chestnut brown colour with a bubbly round white head. The aroma is grainy toffee caramel malt, red berry fruits, boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth rich malt, fruity, heart warming alcohol bitter palate and an oily mouthfeel. Medium to full bodied with flat carbonation.
