Tap. Unclear brown color with off-white head. Aroma is big fudge, raisins, vineous. Taste is raisins, fudge, toffee, port body somehow, sweetish finish. Oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not bad actually, but could take a tad bitterness. I like the character though.

Aroma is smoke, forest honey and lots of dark fruit, some tanines, deep and complex. Taste is intense sweetness with a coffee bitter finish. Lots of phenlos. Rubber as well. Heavy. Somehow shallow though, not so full bodied and actually a little one dimensional. Overall still very interesting and nice with the abv well hidden.

On tap at the brewpub at 14% abv. Almost clear, deep red with a thin, beige head. Sweetish, a little sourish, malty and slightly fruity aroma of caramel, red, vinegar, wood and sour cherries. Sweetish-malty, a little sourish, a bit fruity taste of caramel, red fruits, sour cherries, wood and some vinegar, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a little tart finish and woody finish. Medium to full body, oily and a little spritzy finish, almost flat. Lovely!
