Bottle pour at the DCBeer December 2025 share. Poured a slightly cloudy amber-red color, still a small, off-white head. Aroma was still sharp sour notes after all these years. Tart, and sour. Not a lot of pumpkin, but a decent amount of sour, tart malts. Really nice and sweet. Liked this one quite a lot. Really held up well after over a decade from when it was bottled.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Logged this here because the abv and name on the board match, though I'm not picking up any bourbon. Aroma is quite spicy with nutmeg, pumpkin spices, vinegar, malt, oak, red fruits, and a touch of liquor. Massively sour flavour with a lot of sweetness as well. Body is medium to full. Typical Cascade puckering sourness, lots of spices surfacing gradually in the aroma. Nice one, good use of pumpkin spices.

Aus der Flasche (Vintage 2014) im 2024-10 getrunken. Diese braun, trübe Ale kommt mit einer wunderbaren Kombination aus Gewürzaromen daher. Dazu kommt ein tolles malzige, süße Aromen die durch die Fassreifung im Rumfass ausbalanciert wurden. Der Alkohol ist perfekt eingebunden. Wunderbar!

Tap @ Øst. Slightly unclear, deep brown body under a small, lacing tan head. Strong aroma of malt, caramel, dry fruit, spices, ginger and hint of wood. Taste is quite sweet with some balancing acidity, malt, caramel, ginger, wood, toffee, spice cake and moderate bitterness. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste with an alcoholic sting. Nice, but not something I can drink much of.

Behoorlijk scherp zuur, zoetig, wel wat kruidig, maar haal er geen pompoen uit, romig, gevaarlijk spul met 11.1%

Unclear amber in the glass with a small head Pleasant intensity in the aroma Balanced sweetness for a beer like this Also a fine acidity and sourness Mellow carbonation level Very easy to drink. Also a well masked alcohol level Fruity, some oak, yeast and some spices in the flavor [On tap at Nedre Foss Gård in Oslo, Norway]
