Taste comprises dates, caramel, spice, booze tunes, mollastic notes, toasted brown sugar, orange brandy bite. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Tidy BA BW ... orange brandy makes itself known but is well integrated.

Made with volcanic water apparently. Not sure what that brings to this, but it's great. Raisins & red wine, with gentle oak and whiskey in the finish.

Can picked up from Hoptimaal webshop Amersfoort Netherlands had this at home Monday 26th August 2024 in the company of Dad and Pauline listening to a mixed selection playlist from my choices from Tidal. We're had homemade Meatballs in a Tomato Sauce. We did a walk up the Baumwipfelfade today. Thick mouthfeel, a lovely mouthfeel, coats the tongue. There is a little bit of booziness, not at all sweet, smooth and very well crafted and a nice counter to the many big OTT pastry impys. Some chocolate, I'm guessing bourbon. Pours shark eye black with a slim fast disappearing to just a rim, beige head. Good.
