Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours a reddish black with a small, rough, reddish head. Super complex berry aroma paired with oak. Super rich body, completely flat and excessively sweet. Whatever roastiness there ever was is completely drowned in sugars and wood. Very complex and cloyingly sweet. Think of this as a fortified wine to go with a dessert. 120325

Bottle. Unclear deep brown body with a small tan head. Strong and nice aroma with plenty of dark malt, dry fruit mixed with some caramel, hint of vanilla and some fine, warming alcohol in the direction of Bourbon. Flavor is quite sweet, dark malt, dry fruit, mild caramel, nice balanced bitterness and very good balanced alcohol with the same Bourbon/vanilla flavor. Surprisingly little boozy for the high alcohol and not too much perfumed type of Bourbon either, just pure joy in a bottle. Full bodied and long lasting aftertaste.

Can from Libeerdade. I didnt really pay attention to the packaging date when I picked this up, but hey. Most of the hops - not surprisingly- are gone by now, especially the aroma of them, some of the bitterness and some underlying hoppyness is still there, but not much. A very solid belgian strong otherwise, so it’s all good all in all.

Big bottle shared at work, 2022 version I guess. Craaazy spicy and savoury both in aroma and taste, nutmeg and cinnamon are all over it, some maple also shows. There’s not much malt character to talk about, which is surprising in a beer as big as this, the body is fairly thin on it, and subsequently it’s quite boozy too. Nah, not really.

Bottled 750ml. -at Goblet Zagreb. Dark reddish/brown coloured, small off-white head, berries in the nose. Berries, dominant blueberry, light vanilla and notes of barrel with noticable alcohol. Mild acidic berry finish. Quite nice but also quite expensive (45euros).

Near opaque purple tinted dark brown beer, small bubbly bruised purple colour head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Big okay barrel character, dry oak, vanilla oak that isn't that sweet on the overall scheme of things. Rich dark chocolate, powdery dry, big ripe grape vibes, both white and red port. Bruised berry fruits and a good ripe white wine cum Port thing. Smooth and semi dry finish. It's easy to get old and cynical about stuff these days and, I am certainly both! This Bruery brew keeps me fresh in the beer world and reminds me that beer has the near infinite capacity to throw a curve ball at you. This Bruery beer does that with abundance. Super duper!

This might put me to bed?

Ciemnobrunatne praktycznie czarne nieprzezroczyste piwo z niezłą pianą która dość szybko opada nie zdobiąc szkła. Aromat intensywny, czekoladek z ciemnymi owocami polanymi bourbonem, alkohol trochę drażni norzdza. W smaku ciemne suszone owoce, trochę debiny sa też palone nuty, smakuje jako mocne dobre porto. Grzeje przełyk. Czysto degustacyjne piwo

More sweet than sour.
