Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is roasted malt, whiskey, paint thinner, alcohol, chocolate, methylated spirit, light peat, some notes of dried dark fruits. Flavour is above medium sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium to full. Quite harsh and hot, first real disappointment I’ve had from Kees, no smoothness or balance here, flawed harsh brew.

Bouteille @ Tderoeck's pre New Year diner. Thanks Tim. Brune foncée, col épais sur léger doré au verre, col crémeux café au lait. Arôme offre de fines effluves de barrique aevc un whisky bien présent, fruité noir avec qcq pointes de boisé en rétro Palais met bien en avant la barrique, fruité pomme et poire, caramel avec une note collante dans un effet toffee assez devant. Whisky offre un léger côté boisé et vanillé. Le tout sur un effet style plus scottish ale, fin chocolaté, et un peu de mal à détecter le Sorachi?
