Poured from 275ml bottle that was bottled in 2003. Poured cloudy, reddish brown with no head whatsoever. Aroma of wine, figs and apples. Tastes more like wine than any ale that I’ve tried. Fruity and flat but plenty of alcohol taste. This must be an aquired taste. It ’s definitely not my cup of...well, ale.

1996 bottle. Murky amber in color with an almost non-existent head. Aroma of heavy sherry, oxidation, sweet caramel and fruits. No hop presence in the aroma. Taste is sweet sherry, oxidization, wet cardbarod, raisins, and sweet caramel. Somewhat cloying. Did not seem to age very well, it was quite hard to finish.

Bottled in 1998. Medium dark red in color with barely a hint of carbonation. Spicy aromas of allspice, corriander, apple, and figs. Thae tastes are a bit on the sour side, but not overpowering. A light belgian sour?

dark amber pour, no carbonation, aroma is musty, with some dark fruit, and a touchof bready malts. MOuthfeel is exactly like hard liquor, not swee tat all, and bitter. Flavour is like i just took a shot of cheap wattered down rye. Just awful.....gave me big time shivers. The finish and aftertaste are the best part, some nice bitter chocolate, and a really nice maple syrup note. But other than that i couldnt get past the flavour, and i dumped it.

Bottle. Poured a dark amber with a thin off white head. Aroma of red wine. Flavor is fruity with warming alcohol on the end.
