This is one of the best typical bitter. Easy to drink and still a perfect maltiness and balanced bitterness.

This is an emergency.

2016 Barrel-Aged Batch: Rich and deep, pretty hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a nice three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of very crisp Belgian yeast with a bite of light malts and a more pronounced pitted fruit and cherry scent that adds to the complexity with some dryness noticeable as well. Medium-bodied; Strong and rich tart and complex yeast and malt characteristics show at first with a deep pungency from the pitted fruits and a light touch of sweetness as well, but robust and pretty well-balanced for the style and the pungency here. Aftertaste is super complex with a big dry component, some subtle hops are noticeable, but the dichotomy here is the yeast and pit fruit notes which give off a lot of complexity, but the sweetness here binds everything together well. Overall, a quite nice, complex, dry, tart and sweet beer all packaged in one and aged for a long time, which perhaps made this bode even better! Great to sample on draught at this nice restaurant! I sampled this twelve ounce pour in a snifter at Crystal Beer Parlor in Savannah, Georgia on 29-December-2021 for US$7,50 while here on vacation with my wife and three kids.
