Purchased at De Bierkoning, Amsterdam, March, 2024 and consumed in December 2024 at home. Rather dry for the style. The barrel aging is not particularly noticable which is fine. Some dried fruits and malt, a good looking beer with solid carbonation as a Belgian beer typically is.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 33B: bourbon barrel / 26D). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 20210035 (Bottle date: 26/11/2021 BB: 26/11/2026). AROMA: complex malt aroma with medium notes of raisins and plums. medium-low malt background with slight dark caramel and toasty. medium-low vinous alcoholic note. APPEARANCE: dark amber color and clear. medium-low ivory head with low retention. TASTE: medium-low to low malt notes with slight dark caramel. low raisins. medium-low alcoholic note. medium-low bitterness with a dry finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with low carbonation. present alcoholic warmth. OVERALL: a dark belgian strong ale with very interesting aroma that combines the base beer and the barrel but with an underwhelming flavor due to excessive barrel (and bottle) conditioning.

Ega täpselt aru ei saa struise vintaažidest, et enda arvates olin seda enne joonud, kuid siin selgelt kirjas vintage 2021 (see on pudeldatud 2024, eelmine 2021)... Magus, linnaseline, väike vanilje, karamell, mahe, Belgia pärm. Ok.

Clear ruby beer, a thin filmy head fizzes away quickly. Aroma.is boozy with the bourbon, caramel, dried fruit, a little spice. Flavour has the same qualities. Caramel warming spirits up front, dried fruit, a little citrus, some malt, a little warming spice. Surprisingly mellow in the finish. The barrel lingers throughout.

Draft at Fuggles. Looks pretty dead in the glass, no head and no lacing. Some aroma and, sad to say no real flavour. It's just alcoholic Brown liquid and that's not my thing. There is length to the flavour and perhaps I shot my palate with the citrus IPA I had before. Not great........
