| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Bottled 33cl. Courtesy of Bov. Dark ruby with a fizzy head. Leather, mineral water, dried apple, macadamia nuts, cork, faint acetone and glue in the nose. Extremely light bodied for a beer of 7.8 ABV. Watery. A lot of cork on the swallow. The finish is also reminiscent of cork. Strange. An alcoholic stout which wants to be a watery lager- strange. Dissapointing. Thanks Bov! aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA
