Pours unclear, darker blonde. Medium sized, relatively low stability white head. Scent is clear BE yeast, mild oak (vaniline is quite high, which isn't pronounced in sherry, ussually). Taste is very vaniline, chemical, sweet, but annoyingly so. Chemical, BE yeast, mild bitterness, sweetness is completely out of balance, and so loaded on vanilline it's annoying and just bad to me. Reminding of Cornet, but even more extreme. As a big sherry fan, I don't recognize sherry at all in this mess. Medium body, medium carbo. Finish is vaniline, sweet, unnatural. No... Thats not good.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg. Light brown/dark amber with a white head. Bourbon aroma with some caramel. Sweet taste with a sweet bourbon finish. Too sweet in my opinion.

Amber colour with thin head. Aroma is quite sweet with toffee apple. Flavour has yeastiness and woody dryness up front with more of a boozy hit in the finish. Sweet caramel is there throughout.
