Bottle at Ulfborg RB tasting. Thanks fonefan. Poured brown with no head. Aroma is vinous with notes of dark malts and dark fruits. Flavour is very malty with raisins, prunes and port notes. Very good.

Bottle @ TFODRBSG, Ulfborg, 2008.
[thank you, Brugsmansia/fonefan]
Pours deep red-brown with almost no head. Aroma has some nuts, light caramel and a slight vinious port note. Oily mouthfeel with a fine, low carbonation. Wonderful flavours abound. Vinious, port, sticky caramel, toffee, light smokiness. Really great, tasted of more and I would kill to taste this on cask.

Bottle, 8.7%. Weak malt syrup aroma. Clear chestnut colour, very small tan head. The flavour is quite sweet with distinct notes of malt syrup. OK balanced by the alcohol. Good alcohol burn in the finish.

Thanks to Craig for the bottle, BB 2/1/09! Poured coppery iced tea brown with about zero head sticking around. The aroma picked up toasty toffee and caramel primarily with lesser dark fruit notes and just a little deeper-rooted alcohol coming through. The flavor was a bit on the sharp side with astringent boozy notes over dry-roasted caramel and toffee.. sharper finish with plums and toffee. Medium-bodied with no carbonation on the palate.. drier and toasty.. just a touch rough.
