Tap at BeerTemple, 17th May 18. Pours black and slick. Aroma is dark and milk chocolate, cocoa, praline. Taste is rich, sweet, so much chocolate, like a rich boozy chocolate liquid dessert, good in small measures.

Light brown colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have an abundance of sweet red fruits and caramel. Nice skunky resinous hop brings a good balance.

Geproefd met Roelzie1986 bij brouwerij het Veem. Het is een roodbruin bier met een dunne schuimkraag. Het heeft een chocolade geur. De smaak is vol moutig, chocolade en wat zout.

In der Nase Mango. Im Trunk schnell bitter, dabei ziemlich wässrig. Unterdurchschnittlich.

Hazy red-pink colour. Aroma and flavour are dominated by the ginger. Floral and warming. Too intense though.

Bottle @Ulfborg Tasting. Black, beige head. Aroma has bourbon, barrel, caramel. Boozy flavour, syrupy bourbon. Lasting boozy warmth, not overly complex though.
