Bottled. Slightly hazy rubyish brown colour with a mediumsized longlasting foamy head, that leaves some lace. Aromai s caramel, dried fruits, some spiciness and mild nutty elements. Flavour is berries, some peppery, caramelly and mild toffeeish tones with some slight wooden and earthy elements to it.

The swing top bottle opens with a bang. Big firm head. Milk chocolate, cinnamon and a touch of vinegar in aroma and flavor. Licorice and grapes. Upcoming sourness. Probably infected.

75cl bottle @ home (old notes). Beautiful label! Dark brown colour, beige foal. Sweet nose of caramel, dark fruit. Bit thin and watery. Not bad.

One of those recent Sainte-Hélène projects, apparently discontinued again meanwhile. Very thick and rocky, firm, pale beige head, colour very dark burgundy, hazy. Aroma of sourish yeast and dark malts, walnuts, grapefruit, wine vinegar, blackcurrant, figues, cloves, sour cherries, cream, tea leaves, lemon peel. Acid onset, even a bit vinegar-like, medium carbo, restrained fruitiness, nutty malts, bit Orval-like ’barnyard’ in the finish along with a hint of roasted bitterness. Bit strange and suffering from a mild infection, but interesting still.

Bottle swing top: Poured a brown color with a light brown head, this thing went off like mt. st. helens when I opened it. The aroma is a sweet caramel malt, also hops and leafiness to it. Taste was bitter leafy somewhat fruity.

Draught Deep-chestnut with a dense, permanent yellow head, like moccha icecream. Fresh, green malts and dry hop bales, as well as CO² in the nose, good! Bitterish, chocolate, leafy, but not very outspoken. Tastes might be suppressed because of polar serving temperature. Maybe some bananaester in the finish. Medium to well-bodied, cold thinning it. Interesting, if not really great.
