2023 vintage, tasted oct 22 2025. aroma of fresh cherries, fresh lambic.
clear light red with a large pink head that very soon fizzles away.
flavor is tart and slightly bitter lambic with a very nice fruity notes from the cherries. quite dry. tiny bit of leather. one of the better krieks i've tasted. not at all artificial or sweet, the fruits really attenuate the lambic well. no off flavors. the 7% is well hidden. Great kriek, well above average for the style.

roasted malts, faint salty caramel, dark chocolate, dark toffee aroma.
Flavor is salty licorice, dark chocolate, roasted malts in the aftertaste which lasts a long time. quite salty. also some cake frosting in the middle. If you like finnish salty licorice, you will like this one.

nice herbal hoppy aroma, crisp malty base.
flavor is hoppy, flavorful hop-flavored hops, medium sweet malty, not citrussy as many brews, more malts and herbal hops, not really super herbal, not really super grassy, but actutal hop flavor. simple, traditional flavor, even though it is way hazy.

tasted 2025-10-19 heavy solid slightly boozy aroma, very well balanced and blended. i get barley wine and cellar aging, then a lot of really subte very faint notes that add to the complexity some of the slightly fruity, faint chocolate.
flavor is toffee, faint fruits, peppery alc boost, roasted malts, bourbon, oak, there is a lot going on, some very sweet malty notes, also some oranges like notes, the dark chocolate, the wood, the bourbun. yet it all balances so well. some of the flavors lead me to think of port wine, but this one feels lots more punchy than a port wine, also lots more refined. It could be the cognaq barrels that is adding a few unusual notes.
dkk 1300 at Kihoskh, an expensive tick. Fortunately it's a great sipper, so i guess it's only 130dkk per sip.

Almost honey like sweetness in the Aroma. Then roasted malts. Feels heavy. Flavor is lots of roasted malts with a little bit of dry malty sweetness. Aftertaste last forener. Very clean, no bitter dark caramel. Bourbon in think from the barrel, just after tiny bit of a pastry note, which works, because it is so tempereret. Great imp stout. Holds it's ABV impressively

Aroma of meld dark caramel, apple or fruits , i think,
Flavor is quite unusual, tastes like bitter (the boose) blended with imperial stout. Quite tasty but very unusual.
