Botella @Cerveceria Europa, Sevilla. 04/01/2023. Color marrón corona de espuma blanca, aromas y sabores malta especiados, licorosa. .
Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy yellow/straw colour with a one finger creamy white head. Aromas of yellow fruits and a little peppery spice. Taste has more of the yellow fruits, light herbal tones and a faint earthy hop on the finish. Medium body with low carbonation . Ok and inoffensive but also a bit bland and boring. Expected better.

Amber with off white head - Some dark fruity notes in the aroma - Malt body with oxidation - The oxidized malt flavours goes into the finish - This was just ok

Limited edition, 952 bottles. Batch #02. 12 months aged in oak barrels. Bottle nro. 262. 11.0% ABV. A dark brown beer, a head is medium and beige. Aroma has fried fruits, raisin, prune, barrel. Taste has raisin, prune, sweetness of dried fruits, some barrel. Medium bodied. I love the original version and it feels the barreling is hidden some nuancees and this is not so good anymore. Maybe not so fresh anymore. Anyway, good beer.
