Bottle thanks to Rainer. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong molasses, leather, pure sugar, wood. Medium mouth, sherry, wood, very tart, boozy finish, very good.

Flasche (Ypres Reserva 2011, 33 cl, abgefüllt 9/2014) vom Bierzwerg. - Undurchdringliches Schwarz, hellbrauner Schaum. - In der Nase robuste, an Weinessig erinnernde fruchtige Säure, schwarze Johannisbeere, ganz schwache Bitterschokolade. - Antrunk intensiv sauer, Obstessig, Zitronensaft, adstringierend. Dahinter ein schwacher Anflug von Kakao und dunklem Malz, zarte Anklänge an Mokka und Holz. Mild rezent, weich im Mund. Bis in den Abgang dominiert die fruchtige Säuerlichkeit. - Nicht so recht überzeugend: die Säure, obwohl nicht unangenehm, erdrückt den nur noch schwach erkennbaren Dunkelmalzcharakter fast völlig.

33 cl. bottle, poured in to a Snifter. Label says "Reserva 2011", bottled in Sept. 2014. Very dark red, bordering black colour with a creamy, lightly tanned head. Tart aroma with red, sourish berries, vinegar, plums, wooden and vinous notes, leather, alcohol, red wine barrel, grapefruit and dark toffee lingering. Taste is medium sour. Medium to full body with a pleasent velvet-like texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes lasting dry and acidic with red wine barrel. A superb experience from Struise!
