Bottle shared, dark light murky amber brown. Small head. Aroma is malt, sweet, vinous, red wine, oak. Taste is the same, sweet, vinous, red wine, oak, malty, raisins. Not bad.
Taster at home courtesy of Sander, big thanks. brown color with a redish hue. small white head. smells big dried fruits, figs, raisins, berry notes, oak, marzipan, light sweetness, light sherry notes. quite nice smell. full body, no carbonation. tastes of oak, light sweetness, marzipan, candy, dried fruits again, figs, candied sugar, bit boozy. finishes lightly sweet with notes of dried fruits, figs and candied sugar. pretty nice one, not overly complex, not very distinct from other variants.
Bottle at home. Nice dark red to red-brown color, medium sized off-white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sweetness, caramel, caramelized sugars. Should be red wine barrel aged, but I don't get that in the flavor. Might be me though. Still, since the base beer is so good, this is a lovely beer anyway.
