22 November 2025. GBV Tasting: Struise en kaas feat. Tim DR (Jan Yoens). Cheers to the whole crew!

Clear brown, thin, tan head. Aroma of vanilla, wood, red apple, banana, raisin, bourbon. Taste has sweet raisin, apple & banana in a milk-chocolatey, brown-bready, slightly nutty malt body. Bitter earthy hops in the finish, lingering dried fruits, some spices and warming bourbon alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Tasty sipper with subtle complexity.

Hazy dark brown, thin, tan head. Aroma of candied fig, date jam, raisin, pear, wet wood, vanilla, brandy. Taste has sweet date, fig & raisin in a toffee-, jam- & 'kramiek'-like malt body, tad sourish too. Herbal hops in the finish, a softly bitter toastiness, more dried fruits, vanilla and warming bourbon alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Enjoyable aged character.
