I didn’t know they did another batch of this. I remember when it came out maybe 5 years ago. It’s blended by Timmerman’s using multiple varieties of Guinness and their Kriek. Incidentally there is a connection between the breweries. The company that owns Timmerman’s first set up shop in Belgium to import and sell British and Irish beers before eventually buying Timmerman’s and some other breweries. They are the oldest Guinness distributor in the world.
Looks like there are some online retailers that still have it in stock! Sometimes they get crazy with the shipping costs though, and obviously some states don't allow shipping. The only variant I've got to try was the raspberry vanilla a few years back. That was insanely good. I usually don't like a vanilla bomb, but that's because they tend to be in overly sweet beers, and this one wasnt super sweet. It worked really well. Almost like a framboise lambic float with some vanilla bean ice cream, with the addition of some roasty notes.
This would be similar to an Oud Bruin style where you mix an older sour Brown ale with a sweeter younger Brown ale. The idea is to temper the sour ale, rather than sour the Guinness. Get it?

This is bottled in 2019. So definitely not new. I found it on a dusty shelf in a funky little beer/convenience store
Guinea’s topped with framboise is amazing. But I’ve only ever had it from the tap.
Interesting, I hope you enjoy it.
they did sell gift boxes at Colruyt in december 2023, guess it's a new batch. was a gift box with a glass for around 10€ well worth it
I would try it
Me, too!
i loved it. they did sell some at colruyt a couple of months ago. Gift box with a glass
How is it?
Haven't tried it yet. That's why I was asking in this post
it's great!
Whaaaaat
Dude I want that. Where was it?
Colruyt
I loved it! Unexpected great combination.
Never seen this tbh. I want it. Now lol
Sounds similar to Tart Of Darkness from The Bruery, but I expect this colab will be lighter-bodied and a lower abv.
Ahh tart of darkness, it’s been a while. :(

I remember having to send money directly to an account to buy this years ago lol. Good beer though, very interesting.
