375 ml super-cute black corked bottle. A tan head that sit long on top of a hazy reddish brown pour. Aroma is booze, chestnuts, smoke, char, caramel, leather. No fruit whatsoever other than those chestnuts. Silky, smooth, quite oily. Bitterer than any Chimay GR ever tried, and not sweet at all.

A very dark brown beer, a head is medium and beige. Aroma has dried fruitness, nice and fresh, sweetness, raisin, prune, apricot, hint of dry barrel. Taste has dried fruitness of raisin and prune, low spicyness and barrel. Medium+ bodied, strong carbation at the beginning, but then calms down. Great beer, nice balance.

Rödbrun vätska med slöjbildningar som skum. Doft av farinsocker, mjuk kaka. Smaken dock överfaller både palette och plånbok. Obalanserad och fullständigt överdriven ekfaktston. Lite som I can do oak tone me. Oj vad enkelspårig och fullständigt ointressant den blev. Tragiskt att kunder luras köpa denna uppenbart överprissatta produkt. Hade varit ärligare att leverera en t-shirt tillsammans med varje flaska med texten: Gillar du Vasaskeppet, köp tjärvirke!
