Magus, linnaseline, suhkrune, alkone, nats vaati ka, aga üldiselt suhkur domineerib. Ok. Muidu maksab selle pudel circa 30E, siin sai klaasi 6.5€ kätte, seega kõvasti raha kokkuhoitud :D

750 ml bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of candi sugar, sweet dark fruit, oak, soft sweet bourbon, honey and dry toasted malts. Flavors follow same with emphasis on sweet dark fruit and less on bourbon barrel. A bit of alcohol on the finish though. Quite good, but the result does not match the very high price.

Flaska från SB drucken på ölföreningens julölsprovning. Söt och starkt. Riktigt sött och ganska spretigt. Typiskt Huyghe alltså. Fatlagringen märks knappt, troligtvis en Nocturnum som lagts på fat och den skulle nog behövt stanna där ett tag till. Ok, inte mer till ett riktigt bilhandlarpris

75cl bottle from Kaffee Bazaar webshop. F: big, pale tanned, good retention. C: dark brown, clear. A: rich malty, bit vinous, dark fruits, spicy touch, cherries, apples, banana, red berries, woody. T: full malty base, light vinous, spicy, banana, pears, red berries, toffee, bit nutty, bit vanilla, chewing gum touch, woody, rum, more sugary than I expected and not so complex, medium to high carbonation, all together not such disaster here but bit overpriced, enjoyed for sure.

On tap in the excellent Den Toogoloog on 11th September 2022. More dark brown than 'black' in colour; seemed fairly clear rather than hazy, on top a smooth beige covering. Malty nose and flavour, semi-sweet caramel notes, some boozy esters and tastes too; nice!

Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours cloudy dark ruby / copper brown with airy beige head. Clear aroma of malt, barrel, fruit and yeast. Seeetish flavour of barrel, vanilla and malt, with notes of yeast, fruit and hops. Bitter and acidic aftertaste with acidic and barrellike notes. Warming alcohol presence. The only good beer from this brewery I have tasted. But then it is very good, not just good.

Dark brown with an orange hue and a small creamy white head that left good lacing. Strong whiskey, toasty malt, toffee and faint golden fruit. Long finish. Moderately full bodied
