Speculoos, tobacco, peat, tea leaves, vanilla, dried fig. Sweet fig, banana, smoked tea (reminiscent of Lapsang souchong), herbs, peat. Herbal hops, vanilla & peat, bit spicy, phenolic. Almost full-bodied. Weird indeed, but actually quite enjoyable.

Vintage 2021. No head. Cassis, carré confiture, brambleberry, malt vinegar, ink, dark furniture. Sour black- & brambleberry, some lemon, some umami black olive even, ink. Tart berries, bit woody & lemony in the finish. Flat carbonation, oily texture. I don't what it is but I love it.

Lot 1232. Raisin, fig, brambleberry, carré confiture. Sweetish fig & raisin, sourish berries, some artisan milk chocolate. Herbal hops, bit toasty, dried fruits. Very solid 'compromise' between Dubbel and Belgian Dark.

Glue, clove, chlorine, band-aid, ripe pear. Sweet overripe pear, banana, bitter clove, medicine. Glue-like finish, harshly bitter, very vague floral hops, phenolic clove, booze (cheap rum). WTF.
