On tap at bitter Creek boise. Pours out dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is wood belg candy sweetness some sour cherries. Taste is more of the heavy malts nice sweetness a light sour cherry kick.

Bottle. Pours a dark red color with a medium beige head. A big sweet fruity nose. The flavor is light tartness, cherry, chocolate, spicy. Good.

New and "special limited edition" ’versnijbier’, an addition to the Petrus range (which already contains a whole array of beer styles), advertized as a blend of "a quad" and Petrus Aged Pale; it remains unclear what the quadrupel is, my rough guess would be an otherwise non-commercial variation on Petrus Winter? Medium thick, tan, stable head over a very dark burgundy bronze beer. Aroma of raisin, figs in brandy, sherry, yoghurt, blackcurrant, gingerbread, cocoa, balsamico, iron, toffee. Fruity flavor, black cherries with sour berry tartness but softly so, fizzy carbo, smooth and full caramelly malt backbone with a nutty edge, tart sherryish effect of the Aged Pale in the finish, bit yoghurty, pleasant toasted edge but something vaguely metallic too, spicy notes, earthy bitterish accent with warming rum-like alcohol and the remainders of the Aged Pale tartness, drying. Petrus Aged Pale, one of Bavik’s most important brews as far as I’m concerned, is clearly responsible for uplifting a quite ordinary, slightly metallic quad here, but admittedly this (altogether) ’cheap’ trick works for me, this came out as an enjoyable, warming sipper with a certain degree of complexity.
