Tap @ Borefts 2012. Some dried fruit in the aroma. Alcoholic flavor with dried fruit and bourbon notes, Initially nice but lacking in balance.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2012. This is a blurry honey colored one with a small sidesticking off-white head. It has some sweetness, caramel and grass on the aroma. Light pungent hoppy and yeasty on the flavor. A bit disturbing actually, but it smooths itself out after a while. A bit to grassy imo and it's really mouthdrying and astringent. Nowhere near the original Doggie Claws, but not bad. 12.05.2012

On tap at Alvinne Craft Beer Fest in Vichte - Belgium March 2015 with markoijelena. Pours amber hazy, off-white cap with traces on the surface. Nose: light caramel, white chocolate and a hoppy background. Also some tart sour notes in the nose (cool). Mouth: high carbonation, tart and clear on the palate, pungent in a way, malts juice with a sour and clean aftertaste. Good beer!

At ACBF. Barrel aged DIPA, collaboration between Struise Brouwers and Hair of the Dog, this cannot go wrong... Sticky, stable, yellowish white head, lightly hazy golden blonde colour. Complex aroma, starfruit, lemon zest, pineapple, sour berries; crisp fruity onset, sweetish, caramelly malts, complex, sourish accent, long developing finish of citrussy and peppery hops, bittering and drying, with oaky tannins and indeed a hint of bourbon-like, warming alcohol which stays relatively subtle for a beer of 11.5% ABV. Excellent - as expected.

Dark red, 1 finger head. the nose is great! Smells like a malty lambic with lots of grape aroma with vanilla and a brown sugar essence.Taste is really special. yes, there are some off-flavors, maybe some shoe polish but the essence of wild yeast (brett C and Lacto) with vanilla, dense oak tannins and some sort of jelly/jam. It’s really nice. ABV is totally hidden.
