Bottle, seems to have been intended for New Year's Eve. bb 11/25. Almost clear amber with a dense white cm of head. Aroma of singed toffee and white grapes, hints of champagne breadiness. Sweet, smooth despite medium high carbonation. Alcohol drifts just beneath the surface. Brioche, grapes, grassy bitterness. Not very saisonish at all but good.

Bottle @ Mathews Tasting. Pours reddish dark coffee brown with medium off-white head. Aroma is intense cocoa, dark chocolate, dry tobacco, ground coffee, cherry seeds, and black tea. Taste is very sweet, and light to medium bitter. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of prunes, raisins, dark chocolate, cocoa, cream, oak and vanilla. Excellent beer. Very sad that they are closing down the brewery.
So long and thanks for all the fish.

0.33 l bottle thanks to Ogi who brought it from Slovenia, thanks. Unclear amber, small off-white head. Intense spicy aroma, black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, licorice, caramel, a bit harsh, too intense. Smooth, light body, sweet caramely, bready. A bit thin. Still quite drinkable for a 7.3%. Finishes sweet.

Bottle from Daily Delis Amsterdam (?). Hazy black, stable, foamy, beige head. Aroma of lime, thyme, cress, black pepper, black tea, pink grapefruit, blackberry. Taste has sweetish brambleberry and fig and a sourish streak of lime in a toasty malt body, surrounded by spicy cress, black tea and black olive. Herbal & earthy hops in the finish, lingering spicy black pepper, cress and herbs; dash of coffee too. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Unusual to say the least; lots of different flavours to enjoy.
