20 June 2025. “Iets voor den Erwin” @ Dracuna. Cheers to the whole GBV crew! Thanks to Meeki for sharing!
Jet black, small, foamy, dark beige head. Aroma of tawny port, melting fondant, dark fudge, pralines, marzipan, ripe brambleberry, walnut oil, tobacco, soy sauce. Taste has sweet prune, fig & brambleberry in a dark-chocolatey, almondy, walnutty malt body with touches of coffee, sourish berries and umami soy & black olive. Bitter earthy hops in the finish, pronounced espresso, dried fruits (sweetish and sour) and warming port-like alcohol (adding woody tannins too). Full body, oily texture, average carbonation. A 'perfected' BA treatment almost; complex and very enjoyable.

Bottled. That was interesting. If they made a McDonald's breakfast into a beer, this would be it

Poured a nice gold with white head via bomber. Nose is strong gin/junipers. Some citrus, hops and then a ginnish finish. Pretty good.
