(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a cloudy, orangey brown with a tall, off-white head leaving some lacework. Aroma of roasted malts and yeast. Rather full-bodied with plenty of roasted malt and fruit and a whiff of yeast. Rather subdued bitterness with a vague, underlying tartness. 270707

The beer jumped-out of the bottle as I opened it. Bad sign. Cloudy copper-burgundy body toped by a short lived off-white head that is just a bunch of big bubbles. Nothing creamy there. Looks suspicious. My suspicions were founded. Obvious signs of oxidation, not totally ruined but still pretty damaged. It’s not an age problem, it’s a fresh batch we got through private importations and my friends all had good bottles from the same batch. Despite the oxidation I drank half the bottle because I could feel some of the flavours that were supposed to be upfront. For now I’ll rate the only bottle I had but I hope to come across another one for a proper evaluation. That’s just my luck, one bad bottle in the batch and it’s mine. How bad lucky am I? The Canadian government recently published a statistic saying that in Canada a man gets struck by lightning every day. That man is me.
