Aug 30, 2008 Bottled. Pours clear and dark amber with an off-white, foamy head that disappears fast. Lots of carbonation. Nose of malt with notes of nuts and fruit. Sweet flavour with caramel and malt. Watery palate. Medium bodied. Little bitterness at the end. Disappointing.

Jun 24, 2008 Objectively speaking:
Old (BB 2007) bottle which evidently suffered a bit from its advanced age, but still shows a solid malt background.
I like:
No alcohol whatsoever. Pleasant toasty malt with never too sweet caramel character. Fruity (strawberry). Very good nutty notes. Has kept a firm and textured mouthfeel despite its age.
I dislike:
Metallic/bloody/coiny edges, likely all from the oxidation. Not too aromatic. Almost headless.
