Bottle shared with Skortila,Bierkoning, Caesar and jbrus. Hazy yellow with white head. Slightly citric, very alcoholic, warming like rum or tequila. Nicely aged beer, dangerous for sure

Jul 14, 2008 A Mes rate: Cask at The White Horse.
Semi hazy amber and struggling to hold onto a head. Slight lactic like funk to the aroma with some wheat and straw, slight earth, caramel and yeast. Plenty of fruity notes too. Very Struise indeed. More of the same in the flavour. Reminds me a little of Struiselensis. Very earthy and some slight barrel notes with a sugary hint that is clearly Struise. Characteristic sting in a wild fermentation way. Fruit and caramel finish with a lovely tarty zing. Probably not on best form but it’s still bloody good.

Feb 24, 2008 Bottled. #97 Aroma has tequila and citrus, some earthy dust. Hazy, yellow coloured with a white head. Taste is bitter with citrus and tequila. Nice balanced, but alcoholic and very old.

Feb 23, 2008 Bottled (same as bierkoning). Hazy yellow color, big frothy white head. ARoma of tequila (that’s what everybody mentioned), bit dusty, slight citrus. Taste is quite alcoholic, liquor, like a spicy triple as well. It sure is dangerous with that alcohol percentage!

Feb 18, 2008 Bottle # 97. Tequila-like aroma, grainy, malty and a hint of lychee. Flavor has matured alcohol, mixed with melon and hints of citrus. Malty with remaining flowery hops in the finish. Well matured and well balanced in spite of the alcohol burn.
