Best before 09/11/2022, Batch 144, Blend November 2017; Purchased at Beergium online shop; Big Nose 10th Anniversary is the result of a blend of Big Nose aged in Calvados casks and young Big Nose.

APPERANCE: copper, deep gold color with light chill haze, fluffy big head that falls quite quick in to one finger big head, irregular bubbles, decent lacing; unfiltered natural apple juice like appearance whit sediment

AROMA: indeed apple forward on the nose, sweet apples (I presume that is from Calvados casks), candi sugar, sugar syrup, toasted bread crust and sweet bread, moderate sweetness, soft citrus presence, mild dry white wine and wine tartness, dried pear, hints of perfume/blossoms and floral honey, earthy and spicy notes in the background, subtle impressions of vanilla and mild funk (old cellar)

TASTE: moderate carbonation, fluffy bubbles but not effervescent, very syrupy and slick mouthfeel that sticks around for some time, medium to medium full body, quite dry and surprisingly bitter finish with lingering bitter herbs and impressions of tannins; fairly sweet onset but not cloying, sugar syrup, notes of honey, sweet apples (sweet calvados?), no obvious alcohol on the palate, hints of wood/barrel, subtle citrus like tartness on the edges, subtle impressions of dry cider;

OVERALL: interesting concoction, a bit on the sweeter side but there is a decent degree of complexity from calvados casks and very soft refreshing cider-wine like aspect; dangerously drinkable without alcohol heat;

Super Red IPA. Chyba najlepsza jaką piłem. Barwa o głębokiej rubinowej czerwieni, beżowa kremowa i sporą piana. Pachnie chmielami że hej. W smaku jak ipamocno gorzka, żywiczna z lekką nutą czerwonego wina w posmaku, coś jak marsala dochmielina na potęgę. I to w belgi tak nachmielili. Aż trudno uwierzyć. More, more, more.
