| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Bottle. Mahogany pour, red-brown at the edges with a fine tan slick. Nose, blackcurrant, Flemish-like iron, balsamic and caramel splashes, TCP, roots, bitter herbs, leather, some rauch-type waxiness- complex and weird. Strange ashy, herbal flavour riddled with ink and spoiling antiseptic notes (TCP). Suspect something has gone wrong here. Difficult beer approaching the plughole. Bullit (1392), Glasgow, Scotland
