Licht geel bier met veel schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig en fruitig met iets van citroen, wat mango en passievrucht. Uitstekend!

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.
