Bottle. Color: Dark reddish brown, thin beige head. Aroma: Sweet, sugary, dark malt, red wine notes. Taste: Sweet, some red wine, raisins, dark malt, caramel, oak wood, tannins, some candy sugar. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Over medium sweet, moderate to over moderate bitterness. Missing balance. Drinkable, but not great. Was hoping for a better final edition.

12 oz. can, pours a deep dark mahogany, no head. Aroma is full of oxidation, dusty red wine barrels, cardboard, and booze. Flavour is ridiculously intense, with intensely harsh booze, oxidation, vinous notes, and some sugars. Ultimately, the notes here don’t work for me—lots of bready oxidation, booze, and feet on the finish. Not a fan.

Medium brown. On the nose, it's boozy, with some plastic, grapey, maybe some toffee. Low carbonation, slightly oily, tannic, and actually less boozy on the palate than on the nose. For something that expresses as boozy and unbalanced on the aroma, it's actually more balanced on the palate.

330mL bottle. Pours dark brown with a minimal head. The nose is a bit weird, some oxidation and woody sugars, booze. Flavour is very intense, dark sugars, some dark red wine barrels, cardboard. It's okay, but pretty lopsided and boozy.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Dark brown color with a dark red glare coming through, average sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, vinous. Flavor is malts, again vinous and light tart, something weird in there as well. Aftertaste is tart-ish and vinous in a meh-way. Not very good imo.

Cerveza turbia de color oro ambarino ligeramente anaranjado, espuma blanco hueso cremosa de media retención. En nariz se aprecian notas de trigo, granero, recuerdos de fruta tropical, principalmente maracuyá, citricos algo y especias. En boca es ligera, mínimamente punzante, afrutada y agridulce, notas de levadura, citricos, bizcocho, pulpa de maracuyá, especias... Final seco con puntito de acidez y amargor. Bastante curiosa, no está mal

33cl Blik van ONP5. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Geur is erg zoet, vanillesuiker, suikerspin, licht gebrand, smaak is wat meer gebrand, hint van koffie, niet zo zoet als de geur gelukkig, degelijk bitter. Lichte body. Best oké.
