(Draft at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 17 Aug 2025) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with liquorice, herbs, anise, fennel and black bread. Malty, slightly roasted taste with notes of caramel, liquorice, herbs, anise, coffee, cardamom, oak wood and a mild herbal bitterness in a warming finish. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and quite interesting, with lots of liquorice, herbs and decent splash of alcohol ... on steroids. Very nice.

Menno Olivier - Go Through mixed fermentation oloroso BA 6%

Bottle shared at tasting. Clear pale golden color, virtually no head. Aroma is barnyard, quite sourish in the aroma, however.... the flavor is almost sweet. Incredible... how does one get X in the aroma and Y in the flavor. Incredible balance. Amazing brew. Superb. 8-7-8-8-8,5
