Bottle at Mikkeller Bangkok. Poured a dark amber colour with a round off white head. The aroma is sweet sugary malt, sticky toffee caramel, some alcohol. The flavour is moderate to strong sweet with a rich smooth oily sweet malt, sticky toffee pudding, red berry fruit, light spice palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation. A fitting celebration ale.

On tap at Vultures Lane. Aroma is beautiful. Big fruit and some bubblegum hops. Taste is great too. Apple, orange, little soap and then a big toasted nut finish. Really nice.

Bottle sample @ Borefts 2016. Shared with RB Belgian crew. Tks Tim. BB 08/2017. Léger doré/orange, col fin blanc. Arôme au nez finement houblonné, tropical avec un léger rétro-nasal résineux. Palais est malté, caramel, petite note huileuse venant des houblons, pointe de chaleur des 8.5% avec un caractère restant cependant plus centrée sur le malt.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle at Borefts 2016. Clear, golden yellow with a white head. Sweetish, fruity and a little grassy aroma of peach, passion fruit and mango. Sweetish, fruity and slightly grassy taste of caramel, honey, mango, passion fruit and peach, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, quite dry finish. Medium body, moderately effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Quite nice!
