Bottle shared at tasting. Thnx Joes! Clear chestnut red-brown color, small white to off-white head. Aroma is malts, wood, whiskey barrel aging very clearly but definitely an addition and not ove the top at all. Wow, this is something else! Flavor is malts, warming brown malt and brown candy sugar mouthfeel, light distant candy notes. A lot of different flavors, quite complex but very well blended together. Full body, soft carbonation.

Bottle. Color: Almost black, thin brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt, coffee, spicy notes. Taste: Roasted malt earthy, coffee notes, spicy hints, hints of anisr. Less spicy / herbal and peppery than expected, based on the description of the ingredients. Spices used subtle, fortunately. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Over moderate to medium sweet, moderate to over moderate bitterness. Well done again, Menno!

Bottle shared. Very dark brown. Massive peat, sweet malts, toffee, more peated whisky. Solid sweet and bitter. Full bodied. I don't get much beer, just massive peated whisky. Not bad, but a bit one dimensional.

0.33 l bottle from 'DeBiersalon.nl', best before September 2048. Clear, very dark ruby with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity aroma of molasses, caramel, figs, elderberry, whisky and some vanilla. Rather sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity, minimally vinous but rather boozy taste of molasses, caramel, figs, elderberry, vanilla, whisky and light red wine, followed by a long, gently bitter, fairly boozy finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Lovely beer even if very boozy, fairly intense and complex, might benefit a bit from aging though. Might try some more beers from Menno to get a sense of the old De Molen stuff again, maybe.

Bottle. Menno Olivier,former brewer of De Molen is back! High expectations... Color: Clear amber to copper, very thin beige head. Aroma: Sweetish,toffee and fruity orange, boozy hints. Taste: Full body, low carbonation. Malty, sweetish, bit sirupy, dark dried fruit, caramel toffee, orange, some orange zest, boozy. Over medium sweet, moderate bitterness. A bit too sweet and sticky 5for me, but nice one overall, brings back some memories of the good old De Molen beers... Keep going, Menno!

Draft @ EL Birrot. Servie lors d'un évènement collaboratif d'un brassin collaboratif à six mains par Menno Oliver avec Alvinne, Narke, Quince et d'autres, ce dernier semblant avoir refait sa vie en Catalogne. Mot Catalan signifiant le 'bide à bière'.
Bière laissée à réchauffer une grosse demi-heure.
Ambre/cuivre, col crémeux tenace blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur de belles notes de malts - cara pâle, crystal avec une bonne note de fruits noirs en rétro-nasal plus une petite note douce de barrique avec le whisky en retro-nasal.
Palais sur une base bien belge surfant sur la quadruple, fruitée entre prune, datte et figue, cerise noire - aussi un léger apport malté chocolat/cacao, sucre candi en fin de bouche, finement collant aux lèvres , gagne en complexité avec la t° ambiante, va sur l'anisé avec un apport du whisky qui agrémente le tout sans jamais devenir surfait.
