omhper (11027), Stockholm, Sweden Nov 17, 2008 Updated: Dec 1, 2008<i>Bottled, thanks Marsblursi!</i> Cloudy mahogany colour, small head. lactic raspberry aroma with some wood. Citric and medium bodied. Spritzy with lots of red berries. Fresheneing and complex where the buttery malt sweetness is well balanced by the citric lactic acidity. It also possesses a caramelly Belgian style yest character that stays in the background. Very drinkable, yet mindblowingly complex and tasty! yespr (8539), Copenhagen O, Denmark Aug 6, 2008 37.5 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a lacing tan head. Aroma is dry and slight tart cherry. Mild wooden, liqourice spiced and cherry fruity. Nice tart mix with a lingering flavour and the liqourice beneath. Ends dry and cherryish flavoured.
