Lot No2 2025 edition. Bottle at De Garre. It pours clear deep amber with a fluffy slightly off white head. The aroma is soft, smooth sweetness, vanilla pudding, sponge cake, creme brulé, biscuit, custard, bourbon soaked oak, apple crumble, fruit cake, raisin, sultanas and toasted almonds. The taste is smooth, hides alcohol well, biscuit, sponge cake, fruit cake, marzipan, vanilla custard, raisin, sultana, bread and butter pudding, pleasing warmth, bourbon soaked oak, dull tannin, chewy toffee, light spice and green banana on the backdrop. Finishes up dry with fleeting spice. Medium body and moderate+ fluffy carbonation. Love this. Great depth of flavour and the barrel aging does justice to the base beer. Awesome.

Shared bottle in De Garre, lovely stuff, but expensive. Boozy and so, so easy to drink it's dangerous.
