Cloudy brown beer, no head. Aroma: very oxidized, cardboard, more oxidation, some dried fruits, yeast, autolyse. MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, very alcoholic, much more than the 2015 version we just had, very sugary, very oxidized, cardboard, a little bitter, some faint chocolate notes. Aftertaste: a little sweet, some chocolate still, oxidized, cardboard, ok but not great...

Shared 500 ml corked bottle, as Baladin Xyauyu Birra Da Divano Riserva Teo Musso 2008, imported to Germany by BraufactuM. Bought at Citti-Markt Flensburg. Orginal bottle No. 263926. German bottle No. 316. ABV is 14.5%. Clear reddish brown colour. No head nor carbonation. Strong vinous aroma, notes of old sherry / madeira, oak and dark dried fruits. Strong sweet flavour, in a blind test I might mistake it for an old sweet sherry or madeira. Notes of dark dried fruits again. A real treat if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth.
