I can't, I just can't. I'm fine with rich beers, sweeter, thick, crazy boozy, but this. This. It feels like they should provide free insulin shots with every bottle. Next to no carbination, even with a hard pour. Then that first sip is just pure, sickly sweet syurp. It overwhelms everything. It's like I put a straw in a maple syrup bottle. I think I'm picking up some dried stone fruit and toasted malts but... How is hard sugar crystals not forming inside this bottle? This can't be right. Ah hells nope. Why is notbody else getting this? I can believe it, I might have to toss this out...

Catada en schnifter, color marrón rojizo oscuro, limpia, mientras la sirvo forma una corona de espuma que se disuelve a los pocos segundos, se ha esfumado tan rápido que ni me ha dado tiempo en reparar de que color era exactamente. En nariz viene potente, fruta extremadamente madura (uvas, ciruelas, melocotones...) pasas, miel oscura, melaza, malta tostada, barrica, frutos secos, y un ligero recuerdo, muy sutil, de salsa barbacoa. En boca es cálida y sedosa, muy dulce, potente y licorosa. Notas de caramelo, miel de castaño, pasas, arrop i tallaetes, peras al vino...Ideal para maridar una buena caja de bombones o un puro. Evidentemente no es para cualquier ocasión ni para consumir de cualquier forma, requiere degustación pausada, en paz y calma...Buena cerveza.

Poured from 330mL bottle (2022 vintage; bb 11.2027; purchased somewhere on my Euro trip 2023, forget where exactly - probably Riga?). Clear copper brown with minimal white head. Caramel malt, feint dark fruits, gentle spice, slight booze, hint of wood. Enjoyable.

2015 vintage. Looks like a capped 750? Maybe a 22oz? Cool bottle. Clear amber. Crazy. Raisins and booze and cherry and cake. Boozy. 7 4 7 4 14. Clean finish though. Crazy drinkable.

33cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. 2022 vintage. Pours brown, elegant, transparent, with no foam. Aroma is markedly malty, caramel, nutty, fig. Body is dense, a little sticky, with average carbonation. Taste is intensely sweet. Final is fairly long and still sweet, though not exaggerated.

25/3/2023. Bottle from Worldwide Alcohol, Chelmsford. Shared at SBGP1. Pours clear dark chestnut brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is boozy, bready, cocoa, chocolate, coffee, dried fruit, treacle. Quite sweet with moderate bitterness. Medium to full body, sticky, soft carbonation. Enjoyable.
