Bottle shared by tfontana, thank you Tom. Aroma is chocolate with Belgian type yeast. Flavor is similar to the aroma with a steady amount of peated malt and a touch of smoke. Not my favorite flavor profile.

Bottle pour from Liquor Junction, Reading. Opaque dark brown with creamy ring of head and splotchy lacing. Aroma is roasty/woody/earthy/peat. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Not what I would call classic for the style but definitive in its own way and enjoyable.

Tap at Hopa. Classic piney, dank and citrusy IPA just as I like it. Not overcomplicated, but pretty decent.

750 ml bottle served me as a special treat during my companies Christmas party @ Kombinat December 2018. Slightly unclear golden body with a moderate sized white head. Very nice and smooth funky aroma with citric fruit, apple cider, yeast and fynky wood. Flavor is smooth, funky, mild but distinct acidic and rather complex – still with high drinkability. Fine balanced body, balanced all over actually including a nice, tart finish. Delicious.

Tap @ Cafe Sara. Unclear golden body with a small, lacing white head. Nice funky aroma with acidic berries, Brett, hint of dry cider and faint vanilla. Flavor is extremely refreshing, light pale malt, acidic berries, yellow citric fruit, some lemon and funky lambic. Balanced body and smooth refreshing aftertaste. Nice one.

Bardzo przyjemny w smaku. Kolor pomarańczowy dość łagodny smak jak na ten styl, zapewne przez beczkę. Ogólne dobre piwo.

On tap at bar hop. Finally able to try this without dropping $50 for a bottle. Cloudy dark beige pour, with a small off white head. Aroma is very bready and yeasty. Lots of overly ripe fruit, yeast, and some boozy barrel. Mouth feel is full, carb is very soft. Low to medium bitterness. As it warms the base belgian beer comes through, loads of yeasty esters and more ripe fruit. The barrel also comes to thr fore front, with a lot of boozy, woody, barrel, light vanilla, and some musty apples. The brandy barrel gives a strong sweetness to the beer also. Complex, but does not lend itself to a warm sunny July afternoon.
