22 November 2025. GBV Tasting: Struise en kaas feat. Tim DR (Jan Yoens). Cheers to the whole crew!
Hazy dark brown, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of ripe grape, dried banana, candied plum, wood, vanilla, old milk chocolate, apple peel, brown sugar. Taste has sweet raisin, banana & grape in a brown-sugary, brioche- & toffee-like malt body. Long fruity finish offering notes of wood, vanilla (bourbon!), candied cherry and vague herbal hops; a dash of warming port-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily, bit sticky texture, soft carbonation. Very elegant and deliciously fruity.

Blind. Very good. Raisins. Oxidated fruits sherry like. Subtle bourbon. Soft and mellow mouthfeel.

Niet al te lang op de reserve. Ook niet op de rivier. Wel op de druifjes.

Miodowe? Ziemiste? Jasne owoce? Jakas taka dziwna ta paleta, zas w uscie slodko, z dzienymi, nieco dziegciowymi posmakami...
