Tap at Borefts 2017. Clear golden with small white head. Lots of vanilla and wood, toffee, caramel, pine, resin, lots of herbs and alcohol. Over medium sweet and herbal/woody bitter. Full bodied with low carbonation. Nice but a bit too bitter for me.

Tap. Murky orange color with no head. Aroma is prunes, raisins, peach. Taste is a bit muddled peach, wood, raisins, a bit tannic. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation. Good oney but not as great as expected.

Pours hazy dark golden to orange with creamy white head. Fruity, malty, wood, lots of dried fruit, vanilla. Quite sweet with a light sourish note and bitterness in finish. Oily, soft carbonation, complex. Full bodied. Great one.
