Tap at Winter Affair 2025. Very dark brown to black body, no head. Spicy aroma - tobacco, vanilla, carob, caramel... fun! Lean, dry taste, bourbon barrels dominate - vanilla all over the place, going into chocolate and tobacco, light dark berries, ending lean, dry and bitter. Very nice!

Tap at Winter Affair 2025. Clearish red body, pinkish head. Nutty aroma, some berries. Nutty taste, hazelnut wafers though, Napolitanke, some tart berries, quite lean, nice, fun, but the intensity of the pastry aspect had me think that 1dl was quite enough, kinda less appealing than the sum of its parts.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Cherry upfront and all the way with spicy notes, cherry cake, touch of vanilla. Tart flavour with ample sweetness as well. Cherries overpower the beer, little hazelnut and pineapple to be found. Medium body. Like tart/sweetish cherry cake. An amusing curiosity.
