Aus der Dose (bbe 30.06.2024) im 2023-11 getrunken. Dieses Ale startet sher direkt mit seinen Südfruchtaromen. Die Säure ist recht deutlich. Leider sind so ein-zwei Aromen zu finden wo ich nicht weiß ob das Fehlnoten sind - bittere, gewachste Grapefruitschalen und ein Hauch von Plastik. Kein schlechtes Sour aber etwas unausbalanciert.

Can at home. Hazy pale yellow color, white head. Nice hoppy aroma, but the flavor has some flaws imo. Notes of DMS. Stale bitterness. Unpleasant after taste. Too bad, started out okay.

can, hoptimaal deluxe calendar #8 Pours dark brown but not black. brown head. nutty roasted malty aroma, english licorice, oxidized boozy nose from the barrel, it all giving notes of cocnut and brown choclate cake, aroma is quite complex, the individual parts well mixed together, hard to take apart. Very tasty, slightly smoked malty, lots of roasted malts, finer nuances from the barrelling which seem to have worked extremely well, licorice and coffee notes are faint but add to complexity, barrelling is also just adding subtle notes, not overpowering the balance and complexity. This is a very very good example of a well done barrelling project. The end is flavorful yet rounded, aftertaste is roasted malty, faint toasted wood. Very well done BA imp stout. For once not a pastry stout, gives you an opportunity to actually taste the basic results of the brewing process. I especially like the balance between charred wood, smoked malts, both are there, but not enough to unbalance the whole thing. good stuff.
