On tap at Brouwcaf� de Molen, pours a hazy mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out chalky notes, lots of red wine, a little perfume, and booze. Flavour is perfumey and boozy with lots of intense red wine notes, booze, and oak. This one seems a little out of control and lacking focus. Not convinced by this.

Borefts X. I'm ten for ten! Day 2. Keg. Hazy deep amber beer, good cream colour head. Smooth palate, a little soft, reasonable fine carbonation. A mild creamy sweetness from the malts. Woody barrel and a spicy bittermess. Sauternes sweet ripe fruits buried underneath. Spicy finish. Interesting but could have been sweeter for me.
