Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Appearance - deep brown with orange chinks. Nose - earthy and caramel. Light smoke and resin. Taste - brown sugar, earthy and spice. Palate - medium bodied and sweet, light resin around the edges. Overall - this was 8 years old on opening, so considering that, it's ok.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Bottle number 006. Pours hazy dark copper with a few floaters and a thin beige head. Aromas of malt loaf and raisins. Taste is caramel, resin, toffee, raisins. Definitely showing its age, but interesting.

Tap @ De Molen. Golden color with a pinkish haze. Acidic, vinous aroma. Sour fruity flavor with confit cherries and red berries. Oak and balsemic vinegar. Oaky, even a bit rubbery aftertaste. Delicious!

Draft at CBC 2013 - Copenhagen. Pours hazy dark gold with a frothy, white head. Ripe citrus in the nose, some orange, grapefruit. Hugely sweet flavor, alcoholic, with some orange, bread, brown sugar. Full bodied with fine carbonation and oily texture. Warming finish with lots of sticky sugars, ripe orange, booze. Nice stuff for the ABV, but man is it full on.
