Smooth, malty, slightly sweetish and fruity with some apples, syrup, toffee, oak, wheaty maltiness and barrel notes. Soft but complex.

Bottle care of a buddy, thanks Cory! Pours a deep copper with a finger of beige head that dissipates quickly. Big caramel aromas with apple, cinnamon, clove and allspice. Palate is very similar with caramel apples, cinnamon, clove and cardamom. Palate is smooth with bourbon and vanilla notes that both still shine loudly after 4 years. Really punches up and better than expected drinking in January of 2025.

0,5l bottle at home shared with Saeglopur. Vintage 2020. BB 02/Sept/2025. brown color, small off white head. smells like apple strudel, cinnamon, apples, some vanilla, tad medical, bit boozy. nice to very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes of cinnamon, apples, speculoos, marzipan, nutty, spices, peppery, some sweetness, light cloves, heavy on the spices, some chocolate notes, some warming alcohol. finishes sweet with notes of spices, apples and light chocolate notes. nice one overall, also quite heavy, a lot going on, but balance is not totally convincing, a tad artificial. overall this is very good though.
