750mL bottle drunk 12/1/23. Clear, blonde, creamy, white head. Nose is fruity, minty, floral, botanical. Some wood, maybe a bit of grape? Not any clear Bordeaux. Not boozey. Juicy, rich, woody, grapey, vanilla and caramel oxidation with pepper and intense sugar. Earthy, woody, sweet. Too sweet. Come on, DD, you're better than that.

Hazy orange amber colour, white foam. Very complex nose of wine, vanilla, biscuits, tartness, ripe dried fruit. Amazing.

Hazy orange gold beer with a good cream colour head. Intoxicating nose of funky red wine. Palate is pretty light for the abv, mildly dry and with a good fine minerally crispness. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness with a nice touch of oak induced vanilla. Plenty of funk, some gluey notes. Funky red wine well blended orangey and mandarin notes. Finishes light and semi dry. Nice brew but lacks the wow factor of previous iterations, for me, mainly because of the gluey vibes.

Sample at the 10th Pre-Brugse Bierfestival International Beer Swap in De Bierboom on 9th June 2023. Cheers who ever brought this. Clouded orange body, weak white topping. Oaky, winey and boozy, some Christmas spiciness as well; Hick!

Bottle shared for my birthday thanks to Rick. Hazy amber. Sweet red fruits, yoghurt, cognac, Christmas cake, sour red currants, alcohol, marzipan, sweet red wine, vanilla. Very complex and tasty. Solid sweet, lighter sour and bitter. Full bodied, bit boozy finish. Good!

75 cl bottle. After more than 10 years, finally. I had to answer a riddle before I could enter Kulminator. Not sure what the answer really was. Weirdest experience to date. Pours golden deep amber, small tan head. Wineous aroma, light oxidised. Wineous fruity. Smooth fruity. Lingering wineous and fruity far finish.
