Can from Stacks. Cloudy yellow, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of guava, pineapple, starfruit, sherbet, orange popsicle, onion, cheese rind, white pepper. Taste has sweet pineapple, mango & popsicle in a sherbetty, doughy malt body with dank & spicy shallot notes, touch of bitter grapefruit. Peppery hops in the finish, lingering juicy tropical fruit, bitter citrus pith, dank onion, bordering on a hop burn; dash of warming gin-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Quite pungent, but good.

21 April 2025. Bottle from Geers. Bottled: 13/4/2021. Barrels 1213, 1216, 1218. Shared with Anke, Jolien & Didier! Hazy golden, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of oak, fermenting plum, apricot, grape, vinegar, lime zest, cheese. Taste has sour apricot, gooseberry, citrus flesh and grape in a funky vinegar and sourdough body, slightly herbal too. Very tart, mouth-puckering finish of woody tannins, citric acid, stone fruit pit and grape skin. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Quite intense. Lovely.

Can from Hopduvel.
A: hazy black, small, beige head.
A: espresso, toasted brown bread, chestnut, fondant, cigarette ash.
T: restrainedly sweetish brambleberry, bitter coffee & fondant, bit nutty, metallic.
F: bitter earthy hops, intense roastiness, warming whisky-like alcohol.
P: full body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Saltiness was a bit lost on me apart from that metallic note. Overall, very enjoyable as a good, old bitter Stout!
