Bottled at RBESG ’07. Nut brown, brief head. Sweet and full bodied. Woody and chocolatey, malty and warming. Fairly swet with thick mouthfeel. Good!

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Clear, dark amber golden with a small, beige head. Vinous aroma of dried and overripe fruit. Quite full-bodied with sweet notes of dried fruit, a touch of prunes I believe and a somewhat chocolatey finish. Nice but not overly spectacular. Probably will improve with age. 280907

33 cL bottle, thanks to joergen. Pours hazy brown with a light off-white head. Slight malty aroma. Flavour is sweet malty. Almost like a kellerbier.

Bottled (thanks cgarvieuk & omhper). Deep brownish amber colour with not much head. Aroma is alcohol, mild wood, licorice, dry dark fruits and raisins. Flavour is licorice, alchol, some vanilla nad raisins. Also toffeeishness in the background.
