Can from The Bottle Shop, Bruges. It pours ? As drank straight out of the can. The aroma is bright, juicy, big passion fruit vibes, maracuja, tangy, tropical, five alive fruit juice, pineapple, candy and sherbet. The taste is smooth, juicy, bright, tropical, plenty of passion fruit, touch of pineapple, touch of candy sugars, limited tang, hides the abv well and fruit juice with a drying finish.. Medium body and soft, supportive carbonation. Drinks like juice and hides the well. Decent for what it is.

Lot No2 2025 edition. Bottle at De Garre. It pours clear deep amber with a fluffy slightly off white head. The aroma is soft, smooth sweetness, vanilla pudding, sponge cake, creme brulé, biscuit, custard, bourbon soaked oak, apple crumble, fruit cake, raisin, sultanas and toasted almonds. The taste is smooth, hides alcohol well, biscuit, sponge cake, fruit cake, marzipan, vanilla custard, raisin, sultana, bread and butter pudding, pleasing warmth, bourbon soaked oak, dull tannin, chewy toffee, light spice and green banana on the backdrop. Finishes up dry with fleeting spice. Medium body and moderate+ fluffy carbonation. Love this. Great depth of flavour and the barrel aging does justice to the base beer. Awesome.

Can from Brussels Midi station. Drank of the can, but I would imagine this is clear golden with a white head... The aroma is raw and boozy, raw, quite sweet, sugary, cakey malts, biscuit, estery fruits and rubbing alcohol. The taste is quite sweet, grainy, nutty, cereal, raw booze, rubbing alcohol, tramp sauce, green veg, grassy, some bitterness and not a lot else.... Finish is raw and alcoholic. Worse than expected. I pushed through, but wouldn't return to this.
