Bottle generously given to me by omhper (Thanks Per!). Unfortunately, Jess accidentally gave this bottle a kick while we were at Akkurat and the cap’s seal broke. Well, we made the most of the situation by drinking it as soon as we made it back to the hostel. Pours dark red with a trace of off-white head. Aroma is very sweet, dark fruity and showing its age a bit. Taste has a big malty sweetness, some chocolate, more plums and raisins, and a slight cardboard taste. Additionally, this had a bit of sour twang to it, which was a bit unexpected. Somewhat thin on the palate and finished with more chocolate and fruit. Color me a fan.

Bottle. Dark tawny/brown color. Pastry shop nose (sweet fruits, breadiness) with a touch of funk. Flavor is mainly sour and funk, with some touches of chocolate and butterscotch. Pretty much a contaminated brew, but still has some enjoyable character to it.

Bottle: Dark red colour, flat head. Aroma of dark chocolate, and a sournes and malts.Some alcy nose in the end. Flavor is almost the same here, but is dominated of a sournes., some caramel and maltynes in the end.

Bottle. Reddish amber colour with a nice head. Aroma of sourness, chocolate, and malt. Flavour of sourness, chocolate, caramel, and malt.

Bottle. Cloudy red-brown colour. Short lasting head. Sweet chocolate, hoppy, caramel toasty malty aroma. Sweet, caramellic, chocolate, soft roasty malt, some sourness, alcohol and nice soft hoppiness in the flavour. Ohhh thisa a nicea beer!

[thank you, omhper]
Pours a muddy red with a small creamy beige head. Super aroma. Port, caramel, very deep (over)ripe fruits, light tobacco leaves and light viniousness. Super creamy and oily mouthfeel. Flavour is despicably well-rounded with ripe fruits, chocolate, viniousness and tobacco. I find it amazing that a cellaring brew like this encompasses the high alcohol percentage so damn well.

[Courtesy of thewolf, session @ yespr] Hazy brown with white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel, ripe fruits and brett notes. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, ripe fruits, caramel, brett notes and warming alcohol in the end. Quite vinous.

33 cL bottle, thanks to thewolf. Pours hazy amber to brown and with a lacing off-whie head. Wineousnand overripe fruit. Flavour is thick fruity, slight acidic. Solid caramel malt flavour, dense overripe fruit flavour. Goes into a dry and mild chocolate smooth finish.
