2019 bottle at 9.0% ABV. Pours misty chestnut brown with a large beige head. Nose: rich malts, esters, nuts. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Taste: toast, caramel, nuts, light fruit esters, dried fruit, solid ending bitterness. A bit too harsh I would say. Otherwise very decent.

Clear deep ruby, nice tan head - looks good. The aroma seems to have some nice caramel malts but there's just too much fresh green peas, pumpkin and zucchini over them. And it says there for very long. Taste: not very sophisticated (and not that sweet) caramel and dark fruit, but then the pungent and spicy earthy bitterness with notes smoking dried leaves makes you forget all the complaints. Rich, but dangerously easy drinking, alcohol well hidden. Like it.

Tap @ VAF 2018 / 30.11. Dark amber pour, not much foam. Nose has bread, somewhat green with green apples. Tastes bready, deep caramel, good bitterness still. Roast and burnt bread lingering in the finish. Tasty.
