Bottle [2024] shared at "ZZT nieuw leven in blazen"-tasting. Opaque pitch black color, virtually no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, vanilla heavily, maple, (Dutch) "hopjesvla", too sweet. Way too sweet for me. Don't like it at all. Not my kind of beer. Bleh.

Panda at the in-laws, thanks to the Wingmane, 02/10/2025.
Pitch black topped with a khaki cap that doesn't last long.
Nose is chocolate, maple syrup, bourbon rip, molasses, toffee.
Taste comprises vanilla, chocolate, light spice, bourbon rip, molasses, maple syrup.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a big hit of alcohol.
Solid BA impy but not the most refined from Transient, alcohol is coming over just a little on the raw side.
