Tap, courtesy of the BPBW crew, thanks a lot! Opaque golden with a white head. Nose is moderately fruity, lightly citric. Taste is sweetish upfront but then almost immediately takes a bitter turn, it shows citrus zest, some fruity character and interestingly it's somewhat acidic, something I've noticed in kveik IPAs earlier. Closes with a dry, bitter finish, has a light body and average carbonation. Not bad, but nothing outstanding either.

Tap at Kraft. Jet black pour with a beige head. Nose is intense chocolate, booze, lots of bourbon, vanilla and light coffee. Beautiful. The taste is just as good: full of bourbon notes and chocolate, coffee, cocoa powder, light molasses and a hint of dried fruits. Sweet, but not cloying. The barrel notes are intense but not overpower the base beer, very well done. Closes with a long lasting, sweet chocolate-bourbon finish, has a HUGE body and soft carbonation. Damn good stuff.

Tap at Kraft. Gyonyoru peldaja a tipusnak, minden stilusjegy a helyen, csokolades, kaves, szaritottgyumis es melaszos, es nem is tul imp stoutos (ami sok baltic porternel vesszoparipam), nagyon szepen egyben van.

On tap. Pours deep, hazy golden color with permanent, thick foamy head. Hops, fruits, especially citrus, some hay and even some cereal notes in aroma and taste. Medium bitterish fruity finish, light body. Well balanced APA.

0.33 l bottle @ Green Sheep Bar. Pours hazy orange with no head. Bitter hops, fruity and floral notes, maltsy overtones, tea and bergamott in aroma and taste. Long, bitter finish. Surprisingly easily drinkable, light to medium bodied and softly carbonated. Well balanced, delicious DIPA.

Tap at Grand. Deep, clear golden pour, white head. Nose is floral, slighlty tart notes. Taste is floral again, camomille is definitely there, but I don’t quite get anything other than this. Low sourness, faint sweet notes. Light bodied with average carbonation. Bit of a meh.

Tap at KEG. Amber pour, off-white head. Nose is caramel, bready and biscuity notes. Taste is sweet notes of caramel, bready malts, light hay, a touch of honey. Light yet full body, soft to average carbonation. Tasty.

Can at home, köszi Nari! Pours copper with an off-white head. Nose is caramel, light resinous notes and orange zest. Taste is low to medium bitterness, light sweetness, it shows notes of caramel and light booze, citrus zest and pine. Closes with a bittersweet finish, has a medium body and soft carbonation. Tasty oldschool AIPA.

Can shared at work. Az alapsor mar a bourbon hordos verzioban is tundokolt, es ennel a verzional sincsen maskepp: elkepeszto suru, ragacsos-ragos csokoladeozon nemi melaszos, szaritott gyumolcsos, kaves felhanggal. A hordokarakter viszont meglehetosen mas, itt meglehetosen kifinomult, fuszeres, elegans, kicsit vanilias, mig a bourbon totalisan az arcodba maszott, sokkal intenzivebb volt.

Can at home. Pours blackish brown with a tan head. Nose is intense whisky, soy and umami aka barrel oxidation. Taste is whisky, very light notes of the base beer, some soy again, and the finish is almost salty, might be worth looking into the water profile here? Light bodied, almost thin.
