Bottle, private tasting
Cloudy amber...more murky than cloudy actually. Yeasty, tart aroma with notes of raisin and chocolate. Quite yeasty on the palate as well, in that "bottle conditioned beer that’s still going" sort of way. Hints of red currants, vague toast and breadyness. A little fizzy...there’s that overactive bottle ferment again. Finishes slightly tart with a vague fruitiness. The tartness in the nose that I thought held promise I guess was unintentional. Hmm, that was the best part.

Bottle#12: 75 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Light orange fruity and caramel malt aroma. Flavour is mild yeasty and light toasted caramel malt. Light bitterness into the finish. A bit spiced too.

Bottle #12 at yesprs mafioso blind tasting. Hazy orange red coloured with a medium sized off white ehad. Fruity aroma of spices and yeast. Sweet and fruity flavour of spices, yeast and hops. Yeasty and hoppy finish.
