| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 12, 2009 Vintage 2008 Dark brown color, almost black. Mature malt and caramel aroma, oxidised, deep, characteristic of Hair of the Dog, with very light fruitness and light smoke touch too; woody. Good body strength, rich caramel and chocolate flavor, quite sweet; a light sourness (from the cherries?) is a good complement for it, and the very light vanilla too. The final is a bit more astringent, very dry in the end. Maybe not a beer for everyday, but interesting anyway, and surely complex.
