Pours rather clear blonde. Medium small white head. Scent is fairly mild. More on the crystal malts than the piney hops. Taste is medium vitter , low for the style. Caramel malts but also something dusty, aged about it, bit honeyed malts as well. Bbd 10 + months ahead though, and bought from a fridge... Decent beer, but not meeting expectations, let alone hopes. Also quite punchy on the alcohol, not at all smooth...
gave a cheers!

Pours black, no head. Scent is fairly boozy, less adjunct forward. Taste is full, roasty, intense barrel, loads of wood. Sweet, chocolate. Maple is hidden. Bit boozy. Not my fav version, i prefer more maple and less boozy, but certainly a great beer !

Pours black, no head. Scent is maple, roast, sweet impression. Taste is full, sweet, maple forward. Sharp boozy touch (but very mild in intensity). Medium coffee. More maple than the regular 2024 version. Caramel is hidden. What a pleasant surprise !

Full on whisky in the nose, balanced in the mouth. Mild acidity, easy drinkability. feels a bit oily. Nicely balanced geuze, as is to be expected by OBN. Port is not recognizable after the whisky took over the barrel, now generously delivering towards the lambic.
gave a cheers!

Pours a black with a medium large, fast fading tanned head. Scent is roasty, bit soy, some vanilla. Mild oakyness as well. Taste is full, sharp coffee like roastyness, medium vanilla, loud on the barrel. Bourbon and boozy. Medium thick body, medium high carbo. Very decent, but nothing amazing.

Pours a clear golden. medium sized white, stable head. Scent is malty, white bread, 'thick' aroma, Mild on earthy hops. taste is malty, very fresh, medium bitterness, some earthy hops. Very drinkable. More intense than the classic bitter they make (especially compared to the nitro version). very agreeable and enjoyable.

Pours hazed blonde. Small to small medium white head. Scent is orznge, dank, but also very raw malty, grainy, specifically reminding le of munich malts. Taste is full, quite vitter - obviously nothing extreme, being a pale ale. Rhe malts really do pop, a whole lot more than i anticipated - but i like it quite a bit ! Medium body, medium to medium high carbo. Smooth! Doensnt taste old by any means, but missed that very expressive burst of freshness. It is imported, so i guess it could be that, but it could also be the expressive maltyness surpressing the hoppy notes a bit. Either way, a very pleasant one.
gave a cheers!
