Draught@TCBW2023. Reddish brown colour with a mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel, some wood, mild dried fruity tones with some slight roasted and nutty tones to it. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma, but ends a bit on the watery side as for the palate. Still

Very dark brown with thin head. Aroma is boozy, malty, dried fruits. Sweet taste. Lots of dried red fruit. Silky, oily, rich.

Barrel aged quad by Kees in collaboration with Põhjala, cheers Leopold! Apparently aged on a brand of Ukrainian sherry liqueur (I did not even know there was such a thing). Pale beige, moussy, open ring for a head, dark bronze-brown robe with ruby red glow. Aroma of caramel, horse steak juice, Kirsch, sweet sherry indeed, candied cherries, hints of chocolate, brown rum, almond, gravy, brown bread and tawny port. Sweet, even rather sticky onset, candi-sugary with effects of candied cherry, ‘boerenjongens’ and medlar, soft carb with full body, remaining a bit sticky even further on; caramelly, toffeeish malt core with a chocolatey edge and growing sherry vinosity and sweetness, with a lot of vanillin-breathing oak wood, soft herbal hops providing a mild and late bitter note and warming to eventually quite boozy alcohol. Decent sipper with an interesting profile and premise, perhaps a tad too sweet and boozy for me but meritorious and complex enough.

A small taste on tap @ TCBW 2023. Pours xlea
