1 March 2025. At Winter Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks to hosting, Tim & Marina, and cheers to the whole crew! Bottled: 11/03/2014.

Old fondant, dusty raisin, fig, prune, dark furniture, attic. Sweetish oxidized prune & fig, dusty milk chocolate, toffee. Peppery hops, quickly covered in dried fruits and oxidization, and warming white port-like alcohol. Medium body, flat carbonation. Evidently too old, but interesting nevertheless. Enjoyed it.

Tawny port, bourbon, black olive, teriyaki, raisin, fig, tobacco, brambleberries, wood, ink. Sweet raisin, fig, prune, brambleberries; thick dark-chocolatey, toasty and pecan-nutty maltiness, hint of wood. (Black-)peppery hops, dried fruits, more wood, tobacco, bit roasted but not overly so. Warming port & bourbon alcohol. Touch of vanilla. Full body, oily texture. Complex aged profile. Stunning! Deserves a longer sipping session, alas impossible. Thanks again, Tim!

Guava, pineapple, passion fruit, dough. Sweetish melon, mandarin, sourish guava; cereal & bread dough maltiness. Floral & piney hops, tropical fruits. Bright and sessionable; this is a promising new(ish) brewery.
