Not sure which version I had, but it was a 2019 bottle. Pours a dark brown colour and a light beige head. Aroma's: sweetish, fruit, peardrops. Retronasal the age shows a bit, and there is less sweetness. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied. Finish with a firm bitterness.

3 July 2020. At Bar Beenhouwer, Ghent. Cheers, Anke, Pieter, Meeki & Ama Deke! Ghost 804. Hazy dark amber with a slowly diminishing, frothy, tan head. Aroma of pear syrup, date paste, fig, molasses, red apple, plum, brioche, medicin, vague rainwater. Taste has sweet plum, raisin & date, phenolic pear & clove wrapped in cake-like malt with some spicy liquorice. Herbal hoppy finish, spicy & phenolic, medicinal even, but candied fruit stays the main component. Some warming herbal liqueur alcohol in the very end. Medium to full body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Malt-forward, rich & thick.

650ml bottle [#1095/3000, Ghost 804]. Clear, deep redd-ish, mahogany colou rwith ruby glimmer and slightly late awakening, average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, beige to tan head. Sweet-ish, fruity aroma, lots of cherry, hints of plum and dried fruit, raisin, plum, a touch of banana. Taste is dry hoppy, slightly sweet malty and fruity, notes of cherry, some morello, plum, hints of dried fruit, raisin, sultanine, some plum, fig, date. Well balanced, harmonious, clean and focussed. Again, this is a double digit abv beer from Adroit Theory coming along so light, easy and highly drinkable - there must be some genius working at the brew kettle. Excellent!

Hazy brown. Aroma is dried figs some figs light cinnamon some dried dates. Taste is sweet cloying complex sugars with harsh dry woods and nuts. Quite boozy but quite balanced and sweetish. Good.

Bottle courtesy of Jonas, cheers Jonas! Shared with the RB München Tasting Group at Jonas's, Garching Tuesday 22nd October 2019. Pours dark brown with a light beige head, lots of molasses, a touch spicy, a little boozy, at first I was a little unsure of whether or not I liked this beer, now however I am really begining to appreciate it, it's a grower as we say.
