Draft @ Brewdog Brussels. Une édition spéciale pour célébrer les 30 ans de cette bière. Pour l'occasion, Br des Légendes à sélectionner 30 bars pour servir ce brassin spécial. Brassin semblant être un assemblage de deux barriques de Bourbon et Rhum de la même bière.
Couleur dorée, léger pâle, col blanc fin crémeux mais peu tenace.
Arôme est de suite marqué par de fins effluves de barriques - -c'est complexe et m'emmène vers une inspiration quasi lambic mais repris en retrait par une touche douce de vanille, caramel, 'sour', fraicheur au nez.
Palais présente une excellent note de barrique - cela apporte une belle note de fraicheur (issue du rhum) et douceur en fin de bouche venant par le côté vanillé. Note de cuire, groseille à maquereau, abricot aigre léger, physalis.
Fini est sec, finement boisé plus ce côté funk qui demeure tout au long.

Very thick yellowish head, pitting-in over well-carbonated fully hazy yellow beer; shards of lace. Creamy, grapey, perfumey nose, with herbal & spicy notes. Inviting, but all the same it is a bit "easy" aroma, too flat- unidimensional. The very intense carbonation enhances the fresh-herbal flavours. Floral, slightly citrussy and green fruits. Slight fruity sweetness underneath. Light body, refreshing. Not very long-lasting flavours. Not bad at all, but as said, a tad easy, almost industrial.

Opalescent pale yellow colour, minimal off-white head; aroma and taste of apricot jam, some grainy/bread crusty, honey and yeasty notes; good one
