(Draft at Café Pardaf, Antwerpen, 18 Sep 2025) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of caramel, brown sugar, oak wood and balsamic vinegar. Fruity, tart taste with caramel, vinegar, oak wood, brown sugar, dried fruit, prunes and a fairly low bitternessin a tart and sweetish finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Complex, solid and well made, as usual. Very nice.

Pours a dark, brownred with amber glow. Creamwhite colored, relatively fast fading, medium small head. Scent is fairly closed. Some oak, very mildly lactic acid, touch fleshy... Not as outspoken as other Vintages are/were. Taste is fairly sharp, acetic acidity is quite high, even a tad burning. Les pronounced (but not forgetting) on the oak. Rather high carbonation. Not the smoothest year so far, actually might be one of my least favorites honestly. Which still is a very good beer - it's just... Even better usually.
