(Can) Deep amber colour with big, frothy, tan head. Fruity, hoppy nose with apricot marmalade, orange peel, mango, caramel, flowers and honey. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of apricot marmalade, mango, honey, caramel, orange peel, dried pineapple, herbs and a generous citric/herbal bitterness. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. A bit sharp and caramelly. Tasty, but not really in perfect balance. Quite enjoyable.

Bottled. Deep rubyish brown colour with a mediumsized creamy off-white head, which leaves some lace and lasts for a good while. Aroma is chocolate, some coconut, mild herbal notes with some nutty and slight roasted notes as well. Flavour is chocolate, coconut, some nutty and mild roasted notes. A bit tobacco in the finish too along with the chocolate and roast.

Bottled. Black colour, mediumsized brown creamy head. Aroma is bourbon, some vanilla, mild liquorice as well as some roasted and mild ashy notes. Flavour is very similar, but also has some ripe dark dry fruits and mild syrupy notes to it. Balanced, big and bold. Vanilla gets more evident as it warms up a bit.
