Bottle drunk on New Year’s Eve 2024. Reddish with a thin, frothy head. Aroma full of oak with whiskey and an indistinct fruitiness. Taste is mildly sour throughout. Finishes the same with lingering oak. Medium bodied, mild carbonation. Surprisingly one dimensional. Ok.

Brownish with a creamy head. A sugary aroma promises bubblegum and licorice. Taste is more nuanced, sweet up front, but increasingly herbal bitter towards the finish. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Interesting.

Tap at the Dutch bar bermondsey. A hazed dark brown coloured pour with a light light tan head. Aroma is semi sweet, nutty brown sugars, earthy roast, cakey malts. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, Kamp coffee, brown sugars, coffee cake, brown sugars. Creamy coffee. Palate is semi sweet, rounded, light tang, moderate carbonation. Nice coffee porter.

Color: Black, brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt, coffee, peat notes. Taste: Roasted malt, coffee, mocha and subtle peat blended with Brandy notes and Bourbon hints. Warming mouthfeel. Full body, below average carbonation. Smooth, bit creamy mouthfeel. Very nice, old skool De Molen.

Orange-ish hazy with small head. Nose is rose at first, wow that's quite some flowery scent. Flavor adds some tropical notes and citrus but it's definitely rose watery. I've only just noticed the name and label info after thinking "there have got to be flowers in here" so they've hit that nail on the head. Would be a home run except I don't love rose water. Points for the novelty though, and it's not bad in the end.

Bottle via Pivny raj. Med-full body, medium carbonation. Med-high bitterness, light sweetness. Moderate warmth, mostly pleasantly rounded, light burn, but still nice. Med-high coffee, medium cocoa, rather bitter, with the low sweetness. Hint of dried fruits. Medium woodiness, not so much whiskey, but wood is nice here. Very good.
