Bottle shared with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran at a Mega Tasting, October 12th 2017. Amber to copper, small to a medium off-white head. Cookie dough, dried fruits, complex maltiness, some dark cherry, very light peat, figs, spices and light zest. Beautiful sweetness, great balance, light dryness form spicy flavours in the finish, slightly salty. Very rich and syrupy, medium to full body. Beautiful and aged so well.

(Bottle, #095868) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with notes of dried apricots, orange, caramel, citrus peel, rye bread, raisins and raspberries. Malty, fruity taste with orange, mandarin, apricots, bread, raisins (sultanas), caramel, toffee, some strawberries and a balanced citric/earthy bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Really tasty, and exceptionally well balanced (as usual). Very nice.

0.5 l bottle (#012866) from ’BierPost.com’, best before end 2023. Clear, dark reddish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, wild honey, strawberry jam, candied cherried and some raisins. Rather sweet, very malty and slightly fruity taste of caramel, wild honey, molasses, raisins, some vanilla and candied cherries, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, a little warming-alcoholic finish. Medium to full body, oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice stuff! Not too deep, but very satisfying.
