Thank you Mathieu87 & PriorL! 375 ml. bottle sampled @ “Mathieu’s house cooling party”. Dark amber with no head. Nose oddly carries some chlorine, sugar, acidic, old wood, herbal. Taste is strongly oxidized, chlorine, sugar, chemical, strong oxidation notes, sugar, herbs, old wet wood,… Thin with low carbonation. Happy to try this one but I feel like this one has been entirely lost to oxidation in a bad way. It is a shame but all things must come to an end.

Bottle split in Mother Arch, acquired from Brasserie 4:20 Feb ’14. Murked up amber/chestnut brown with a well appointed beige covering. Nose is candied fruit peel, spice, toffee, sweet notes, mellow dark fruit, nutty tones. Taste comprises toffee, light spice, dates, figs, dark fruit rinds, lightly oxidised but not too detrimental to the flavour, candied fruit. Medium + body, fine carbonation, sweetish licks in a semi drying close. Decent enough offering, has aged fairly gracefully, drinks below 11%.

37.5cl Bottle from De Molen, bought a long time ago. Why is this listed as a BSA here, when it clearly says "Strong IPA" on the label? Anyway: Hazy orange colour, almost no head. Aroma of apple juice, liquorice powder, yeast, oranges. Flavour is medium-sweet, malty, orange, floral, yeast, earth, liquorice, something quite spicy, sharp citrus, some biting alcohol, bitter fruity finish with a hint of wood. Medium to full-bodied. It’s way past its BB date I think, doesn’t smell or look very nice, but has some interesting and nice flavours.

And a third 4 year old bottle, next to the French Oak & American Oak. Golden to amber color, clear, seems there’s a bit more carbonation. Aroma’s: herbal, tea, caramel & biscuit retronasal, bergamot. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, with biscuit. Medium bodied, drinks easily too. Finishes slightly dry with a medium bitterness. Not much left of the wood, alas.

Obligatory peanut hull and overripe orange that appears to typify the series, to me anyway. This time it features brown sugar. Chunky amber, mediym head. Astringent Orange peel. Less woody character.

Bottle shared by Frank, thanks! Pours a cloudy amber peach with a gray head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice combo of wood, pine and grass note with a sweet grain and caramel backing. Flavor is a combination of sweet grains, pine hops and barrel that work well together.
