Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Dark brown to black color, medium sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, peat, some soft roast. Flavor is similar: malts, moderately roasty, peat, fingerpaint I used as a kid, iodine, lightly bitter only. Decent body, quite low carbonation. Hmm no not a fan.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Reddish color, medium sized off-white head. Aroma is sourish, tart, oak maybe. Nothing that suggests an Imperial IPA. Flavor is moderately malty, again something that at least resembles oaks aged tart, some light sweetness. Overall it's just bad if you look at what it's supposed to be. Double IPA? Nothing that reminds you of it even in the slightest way. To me it just tastes like any old crappy made BA Belgian Ale, randomly picked from a shelf it's been sitting on for at least 5 years. Imo: bad idea, bad beer.

330ml bottle from Sterk, Amsterdam. Pours dark brown, almost black with a thick foamy light brown head. Aroma of buttery bourbon, popcorn, vanilla, roasty malts, chocolate, wood, vanilla and oak. Taste is sweet, roasty and oaky with loads of bourbon, wood, popcorn, butter, vanilla and syrup. Finish is a total bourbon overdose with loads of buttery oaky notes, hints of vanilla, popcorn, wood and toffee. A bit unbalanced, too much bourbon here, but I kinda like this still.

Hazy, dark amber-brown colored, medium-small beige head. Aroma is of some malt, bit caramel and biscuit, lots of woody oak tannins, some citrusy hops. Taste is medium+ sweet malt, caramel, biscuit, toffee, toast, again loads of woody oak and tannins, a bit too much, medium+ bitterness, dryish finish, some citrus and fruity hops but mostly faded, bit alcohol and warmth. Medium+ bodied, soft carbonation, oily-sticky. Feels more like a American strong but with over the top oakchips... some more aging might mellow it out. (bottle, Huis Maria)
