At Brugs Bierfestival, 4 February 2018. Cheers to Anke & Pieter!
Small sample (10cl) of what remained at the festival. Cloudy dark brown, no head. Aroma of vanilla, nuts, candied fruits, fruit liqueur, spices, bourbon. Tastes medium malty/caramel-like sweet and light to medium herbal/hoppy bitter. Lingering ripe fruits in the deeply alcoholic finish (which, for its ABV, remains relatively hidden). Full body, oily texture, soft to flat carbonation. Gimmicky but worth it.

Thanks to tderoeck, Bierridder_S & Rubin77. Sampled bottled @ Brugs Bier Festival 2018. Very dark brown with zero head. Nose is very oxidized oddly seemingly with leaves, sweet basic chocolate, little brown banana. Obviously alcoholic but not intrusive, that oxidized like flavour with basic chocolate, dark fruits, low leaves, flat, not as thick as expected, simple, that bit odd profile but fun enough to try.
