Bottle - Vintage 2012 - Dark malts and toffee notes. Cloudy brown with a decent light beige head. Lots of raisin and toffee sweetness. Touch of prune.
Dark brown mahogany. Cherries, toffee, chocolate and coffee in the nose. Sticky slightly sweet malty mouth that is super smooth and rounded (granted this is a 2009 bottle). Minimal hop character. Dark cherries, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, plums and toffee in the mouth. This has aged friggin amazingly. Smooth lingering toffee and chocolate finish.
Bottle bought @ bierkompass.de. Pours ruby reddish dark brown with a frothy and creamy beige head that slowly dissipates while leaving some trace on the glass. Smell is malty and tiny floral with sweet dark bread, caramel, toffee, raisins, prunes, butterscotch, hay, flower nectar and orange zest. Taste is sweet, bitter, malty and tiny floral with sweet dark bread, caramel, toffee, honey, golden syrup, raisins, prunes, alcohol, hay and orange zest. Mouthfeel is round, sticky sweet, very tiny watery, tiny boozy and medium bodied. finish is sweet, tiny bitter, malty and tiny floral with sweet dark bread, caramel, toffee, honey, prunes, hay and orange zest. Amazing nose but the taste gets a bit too sweet and isn’t really supported by the mouthfeel. Great stuff yet though…
Orangebraunes Bier mit geringer beigen Schaumkrone. Geruch röstmalzig, Karamell, leicht alkoholisch. Geschmack sehr malzig, süß, leicht röstmalzig.
Süß würziger Antrunk, etwas schokoladig, zuckrig. Nicht wirklich rund, die Süße überdeckt viele Aromen. Minimale Herbe, röstig. Gefällt mir nicht. 9/7/6/6/9/6
