Optisch zeigt sich leicht trübes, dunkles Kupfer. Die sehr feine und ansehnsiche Perlage macht dieses Bild nicht uninteressanter. Obenauf findet sich eine cremefarbene bis leicht bräunliche, feinporige Schaumkrone, welche sich überaus stabil und langlebig präsentiert. Die Duftaromatik wirkt sehr süß, malzig bis leicht würzig und erinnert an Waldhonig, Dörrobst und sogar leicht an Rumpflaume. Der Antrunk kommt feinrezent, süßlich-herb und kräftig malzig bis karamellig. Am Gaumen ebenso kräftig aromatisch, röstig-karamellig, holzig-würzig und leicht belegend. Dieses Spiel der Aromen, welches an dunkle Schokolade und Mon Chéri erinnert, darf man als eher herb bezeichnen - jedoch sehr angenehm herb. Alles in allem ergibt das ein gutes Trinkgefühl, sowie eine ganz gute Süffigkeit. Der Nachtrunk gestaltet sich röstaromatisch, zartherb und durchaus gut.

500ml bottle: BBD 1st December 2022. Drank at home on 6th March 2022. Mahogany coloured body with an off-white/beige head. Malty molasses in the nose and taste, it's pretty sweet throughout. Expected some spiciness, but it didn't arrive. It's fine but I'd hoped for more flavour.

Bottle from Waitrose, Frimley, when I was in search of Vintage Ale. Aroma is very sweet - sugary dark fruits with caramel and a touch of sweet liquorice. Clear cola brown. Thin foamy light beige head. Initial sourness before bitterness comes through. The sweet dark fruits are in there but you also have citrus and quinine. Cloves. Cinnamon. Ginger. Underlying malts. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft yet prickly carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. It's alright. Would prefer warming dark fruits as opposed to the bitter and sour parts.
