Slow gushing to amberish cream head, meadium, over hazy amber-orange beer, completely veiled and lively carbonated. Malt, rich maltsugars, wood, plywood. Slight oxydation aromas. Again expressly malty. Milk chocolate, creamy ganache. Again some wet, soft wood. Finish has a very mild bitterness, leafy. Overcarbonated, slick and sticky, medium bodied. The aimed-at style ("Double Irish Red", to quote the label) doesn't leave much leeway. "Top fermented strong Vienna" would have been equally convincing. It's OK, sans plus. From Dranken Goegebuer, Knesselare

Clear red brown colour with lasting foamy head. Really strong and pleasant malty aroma, obvious whiskey. Sweet malty whiskey taste too. Nice red ale.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany brown with a small beige head. Nose is full of strong whiskey barrels upfront, along with spicy Belgian yeast, gentle esters, and subtle dark dried fruits. Flavour has plenty of spicy Belgian yeast expression and boozy whiskey barrels in cohesion upfront, with subtle esters and a touch of dark dried fruits. The whiskey barrels are a bit harsh and the yeast expression is not the most complex. Finishes burnt, bitter, boozy, and somewhat estery. But it's not bad.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a huge beige head. Aroma brings out lots of Belgian yeast expression, candi sugar, gentle whiskey, and toasted chestnuts. Flavour is lightly sweet, with complex Belgian yeast expression, dark dried fruits, gentle whiskey, candi sugar, and toasted nuts. Carb is high but fitting. Excellent.

330 ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark brown with moderate head. Aromas of dark berries, dark caramel, doughy malts and a bit of perfume. Flavors follow same with a bit of candi sugar and spice; but the perfume notes remain and are distracting
