7/XII/24 - 75cl bottle from a trade, shared @ the Big Bottles Tasting / Proevertjesdag (Oudenburg), BB: n/a, 2017 vintage (2024-1260) Thanks to whomever (?) for the trade!
Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige to brown head, non adhesive. Aroma: lovely, very spicy, lots of cinnamon, even after 7 years, wow! Caramel notes, chocolate, good roast, earthy. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: a bit sourish in the start, alcohol, lots of chocolate, nice roast, cinnamon, sweet, vanilla, caramel. Aftertaste: lovely, good roast, some alcohol, a little bitter, sugary, lovely stuff! Quite some chocolate, a little oxidized, good bitter roast in the finish, spicy touch, more chocolate, very nice!

2017 bottle, many thanks Robert! Pitch black color with beige head, like motor oil - also pours extremely viscously. Aroma is intense cinnamon sticks, chocolate, a bit coffee. Taste is intense cinnamon sticks, chocolate, slowly building up chili body. Velvety and extremely viscous mouthfeel with medium carbonation and a nice amount of chili catch. Amazing, so much cinnamon in here!
