50 cl bottle. #29781, Only 100.000 bottles ??? Lucky me. Clear amber colour with a little fine white head. Aroma of fruit, biscuit, malt, caramel and hints of hops. Mild maty flavour with a touch of caramel and spices. Ends up with a weak sweet body and the alcohol are really shining through.

Hazy light brown pour with a thin white head. Malty toffee, caramel malt aroma. Taste is nutty toffee, thick malt with a big hop bitterness. Very good.

Bottle #74876:   Reddish caramel, large foamy off-white head, attractive lacing.   Nose of caramel, peat, lavender, and minor alcohol.   Seems rather ordinary, at least less than I expected.   Flavorwise its rather weak, sweet malts, some caramel, toffee, maybe a little bit of Good & Plenty like candy sweetness.   Yeah, totally perfumy on the backside, reminds me of the coating on those little licorice candies (Good & Plenty).   Somewhat boozy on the finish, thinner than expected.   Not as complex as I remembered.   I get the feeling this won’t get any better with age... except to say less hot.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Unimpressed.   Seems too simple, too young, and not big enough to age well.   It’s almost watery, certainly much less viscous than other years.   This one was a letdown.   Lingering alcohol, soft sweet malts, and fusels.   I was expecting quite a bit more.   Damn...

Slightly cloudy orange/amber, with a tan head. Aroma is malt, fruit, spices, and sugar. Flavor is malt, fruit, hops, and spices. Medium body.

Bottled. An amber beer with a light tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, metal, alcohol, and hints of oxidation. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, metal from the alcohol, and a slight oxidation combined with some over ripe fruits, leading to a bitter finish. The alcohol tickles the tongue.
