750ml (thx, Brent L.!) @ SF shared with Phill and Josh.
Aroma: wild, funky, Brett, oak, some acidity.

750ml (thx, Chris S.!) @ Alex's.
Aroma: a lot of American oak, some bourbon and dark fruits, moderately sweet, a bit smoky and peaty.
Taste: along the same lines, quite boozy with a lot of bourbon notes.
Overall: it's hot, but a good sipper for a fall night while seating by the fireplace 👍🔥

330ml @ Alex's. BB 02/2026.
Aroma: Belgian esters, some flowery notes.
Taste: along the same lines, it has definitely a different hop profile, grassy and flowery.
Overall: tastes to me like a hybrid between Belgian ale and a lager, probably because of the different hops. Ok.
