I Draught /I Huge, dense, cream-tan head over black beer. Intense whisky notes, Bourbon, nuts, nutcake with vanilla and spirit. Smells a tad sweeter than the Antwerpener version. Whisky, nuts, some chocolate and serious stoutacidity. Coal, roast. Sweetness arrives early, then fades quickly. Alcoholthinning and some -burn, still rather full-bodied (and warming). Long lasting flavours. Differences are really small, but the Amsterdam version seems more severe, less complex.

I Draught /I Small tan rim over red-shot, almost black beer. Very dry whisky notes, Bourbon in the background. Nuts and ashes. Coal, roast, but with a surprisingly sweeter finish. Sweet spirit, Bourbon-like with a whiff of vanilla, whereas the onset is drier whisky. Earthy, incense. Faint alcoholthinning, seriously warming. Chewy, well-bodied. Although differences are minimal, somehow the Antwerpen-aged version seems more complex, the sweetness more integrated.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Don’t like this one from ’t IJ, but thats mine opinion, golden hazy looks and a very yeasty taste. Its more an weizenbock. 2011 And now i like it this time, well balanced mellow sweet taste, and fine hints of banana.
