Pours clear, dark brown. Smell is rather mild, fresh oak indeed. Mild maltyness, some tart / funk by the morpheus yeast. Taste is full, sweet, mild funkyness. Less than expected by the scent. Not that tart. Not bad !
Quad with nice notes of virgin oak & moderate tartness,dry fruit sweetness,spicy alc touch,notes of vanilla & wood,delight as it warms
