Bottle. Pours a clear caramel colour. Had a carbonation explosion when opening, but then little head after all. Aroma is rich and sweet, lots of dessert wine, oak, dark fruit and some booze. Big body. Flavour is malty, complex and very sweet. Lots of berries and dark fruit, date, plum, fig, maybe some grapes. The sauterness adds a lot of oak, some vanilla and additional vinous sweetness. Excellent.

Color marrón con espuma blanquecina que desaparece muy rápido. Aroma a maltas tostadas, ligeros matices a caramelo, levadura, notas ácidas y picantes en nariz. Sabor tostado, ligeramente avibagrado, a madera fresca, pero sobre todo hay un predominio de vino de Jerez. Mi admiración por esta cervecera no es nada nuevo y no voy a descubrir nada. Una cerveza de 10.
