snowcrash000 (1790) - Cologne, GERMANY - DEC 17, 2021
UPDATED: DEC 17, 2021 Pours a cloudy, dark amber coloration with a medium, frothy head and some floaters on final pour. Smells of bready, caramel malt, toffee and fruity/spicy esters, with notes of apricot and clove. Taste is an excellent balance of bready, caramel malt, toffee, fruity and quite spice esters, with notes of apricot and clove, as well as some subtle, floral and bitter hoppy accents, with just a hint of orange rind coming through as well. Finishes bittersweet, with a light bitterness and some toffee and esters lingering in the aftertaste. Full mouthfeel with a medium/rich body and medium carbonation. This actually reminds me a lot of their Triple Extra, or perhaps that should be the other way around. The general flavor profile is rather similar, with this being a bit less rich and sweet, but still feeling quite satisfying. It does feel like a bit of a cross between a Dubbel and a Tripel overall though, being a bit lighter in color and more toffee-forward than your average Dubbel, while the flavor profile seems a bit closer to a Tripel than a Dubbel in general. Still, this makes for a very enjoyable brew in its own way, that's quite rich and satisfying, with a great balance of sweet, estery and slightly bitter notes.

IPALegion55 (893) - Szczecin, POLAND - NOV 28, 2021
UPDATED: NOV 28, 2021 Nalewa się bursztynowe do ciemnobursztynowego, mętne, piana obfita ale szybko znika. W zapachu karmel, opiekane jabłko, ciut banana i pieprzowo-fenolowe nuty. W smaku są nuty słodko-karmwelowe, ale ogólnie idzie w stronę wytrawną, dalej jabłkowe estry, mniej fenoli, porządnie nagazowane. No taka okejka.

UPDATED: AUG 8, 2021 Simply awesome. Bronze ish color, Thick foamy head that lasts. Very malty aroma. Brisk energetic mouthfeel. High carbonation. Bold but smooth flavor. Good qualities last as beer sits in the glass.
