500ml bottle. Aroma of dark fruits and spices, some mild cocoa and earthiness, combined with faint toffee, herbs, licorice and plum. Dark brownish red color, initial pour is clear although this is bottle conditioned, head is slight and subsiding. Flavor is gently sweet and estery, more plummy fruit, grape and dark sugars, somewhat tangy throughout, and seeing a mildly spicy bitterness towards the finish. Prickly and quite active on the palate, body is medium. I’m rating with the thought in mind that that this is brewed to a predominantly malty style, but doesn’t contain any malt.

(Bottle, courtesy of Swalden 28) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of raisins, vinous, plum, caramel, port, and apple. Flavor of dark fruit, oxidization, and cheap wine.

bottle thanks to swalden. deep brown pour with no head. big malty scent with spices and an overall thick fruity smell. the flavor is just like the scent and it’s a pretty decent brew.

Pours a dark, cloudy brown with a half-inch beige head. Aroma is vaguely medicinal, sorghum perhaps. Flavor is interesting and not entirely unpleasant ... at first. This is just weird, frankly. Tastes like it wants to be an abbey dubbel but isn’t. Like if aliens tried to recreate a dubbel using extraterrestrial fauna. Not very good.

Bottle... Very dark brew (hazy orange when held up to light) with a small, fizzy, white head. Smells like sake and dark fruit. Light-bodied with extremely fizzy carbonation. Tastes like bad, cloyingly sweet sake. Finishes sweet and watery.
