Bottle pour at the DCBeer December 2025 share. Poured a slightly cloudy amber-red color, still a small, off-white head. Aroma was still sharp sour notes after all these years. Tart, and sour. Not a lot of pumpkin, but a decent amount of sour, tart malts. Really nice and sweet. Liked this one quite a lot. Really held up well after over a decade from when it was bottled.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Logged this here because the abv and name on the board match, though I'm not picking up any bourbon. Aroma is quite spicy with nutmeg, pumpkin spices, vinegar, malt, oak, red fruits, and a touch of liquor. Massively sour flavour with a lot of sweetness as well. Body is medium to full. Typical Cascade puckering sourness, lots of spices surfacing gradually in the aroma. Nice one, good use of pumpkin spices.
DARK, hazy Amber color and a small White head. Yeah, sour, less complwx, maybe a little too old. Sour, acidic, Balsam.ico.
Behoorlijk scherp zuur, zoetig, wel wat kruidig, maar haal er geen pompoen uit, romig, gevaarlijk spul met 11.1%
