Can (from Alko). Black colour with a mediumsized beigeish brown head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is wood, whisy, some alcohol, roast and dried fruity tones with some ashes as well. Flavour is alcohol, some roasted tones with dried fruits and some fudge tones. Quite sweet.

Dark brown, with a very fluffy tan head. Smells some whisky, caramel. Very soft mouthfeel, but a bit thin. Taste is sweet, plenty of whisky, but clearly missing a good body to support some more flavour. Little bit of licorice at the back end. Decent.

Can. Dark brown color. Caramel, Apple, milk chocolate in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with caramel, whisky and green apples. Alcoholic. The balance is a bit messy.

Can from Bierhalle Deconinck. Dark brown colour, beige foam. Sweet nose, roasted malts, dark chocolate, alcohol. Taste is rather dry, whisky, woody along with roasty sweet notes. Bit alcoholic. Ok, not the best in this series.

0.33 l can from 'Het Biermoment', best before August 2021. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a thin, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of milk chocolate, coffee, hazelnut and traces of whisky. Quite sweet, malty, gently roasty taste of milk chocolate, coffee, hazelnut, vanilla, some licorice and a touch of whisky, followed by a long, gently roasty-bitter, a bit earthy, moderately warming-alcoholic finish. Medium to full body, smooth and creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice beer, quite pleasant, not too boozy. Wonder why so many people get green apple and I don't, usually I'm quite sensitive to that. Maybe different barrels and no blending?

Sampled @ Borefts Pre-tasting. Dark brown to black color, average sized off-white to beige head. Smell and taste malts, dark malts, boozy, whisky. The suspected flavors really, but don't get much of the green apples everybody keeps talking about. Not great but ok imo. 7-3-7-3-14.
