19 December 2025. Country Tasting @ Tim’s - thanks for hosting, cheers to the whole crew! Bottle from Stacks, No. 90/330.
Hazy dark brown-black, no head. Aroma of candied date & fig, fig jam, vanilla, bourbon, toffee, Sirop de Liège, milk chocolate, almond, wood, liquorice, brandy. Taste has sweet candied date & fig, some pear, in a syrupy and toffee-ish malt body with a touch of liquorice and vanilla. Herbal hops in the finish, lots of dried fruits, toffee and warming bourbon alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, flat carbonation. Decently complex and delicate sipper. Cheers and farewell to Vier Monniken!

T: sweet melon, bitter grapefruit, peach skin, dough.

P: medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation.
Cold brew-ish, quite okay, maybe a bit too complex attempt for this brewery.
