Bottle at home Attenkirchen Thursday 12th December 2019 in the company of Lynn and Barry, listening to Here Lies Man - No Ground to Walk Upon. I picked this up fromHarpf Getränkeladen bottiglieria in Brunico. Pours murky dark amber, very little carbonation, not doing much for me and at €9.75 it's at least €7.00 overpriced. Sweet but, watery, in fact it is pretty poor, very little to describe here.

No head to speak of; fully muddy reddish brown beer. Vanilla, dried fruit, fortified wine, oxydation/madeirisation, higher alcohols, whisky. Vanilla, fusels, chocolate, again dried fruit, (over)ripe banana - if not that sweet. Wood. Chocolate stronger in the finish, as praline with a whisky ganache. Pretty complex beer. Furious alcoholheat, not really well-bodied, but oily-viscous. Great beer! I Many thanks to Hans B! /I

33cl bottle at Batzen, Bolzano, Italy. Pours hazy, light plum, with no foam. Aroma is for fruits, almonds, raisins. Busy is dense, though not as dense as I'd like, with no carbonation. Taste has a nice sweetness, with a bit of sour. Finish is not particularly long.

0.33l bottle. Huge thanks Natko and Erna! Ruby body, amber edges, scant off white head. Big aroma, huge wood, prunes, orange liqueur and alcohol. Soft, silky, oily even malty taste, barrel is evident. Big wood, thankfully not too many tannins. Creamy prunes, ending just slightly astringent. Aaand... Alcohol. Okay, that's as expected. Nice stuff, just slightly too astringent.
