Bottle at home shared by Joes. Jet black color, medium sized light brown colored head. Aroma is (Dutch) "een bak turf!", huge peat, finger paint I used as a kid. Flavor is similar: huge firm peat, peated bitterness, band aid, iodine. Way more than I remember this beer to have. Also, we tried a 2017 old Hemel & Aarde alongside this one and that was way softer and way more balanced, with way less peat. I liked the original better, much better.

Bottle shared by Johnny. Brown red color, no head. Aroma and flavor are sourness, port notes clearly, red fruit notes, unripe fruits, sweet notes as well. Once you get to a certain the sourness it's quite complex and interesting. Pleasant.
