bottle from 1997.
wow, this is an odd one. FIrst off, the pour one of the blackest i’ve seen. It’s coating my glass like oil. Aroma is ridiculously malty, with some chocolate, and burnt soy sauce, and salmon, but the alcohol is actually well hidden. Flavour is burnt chocolate, and burnt soy sauce, but its somewhat enjoyable. Its quite sweet, but mixed with a huge burnt flavour. Its odd, but enjoyable, but in the end i couldn’t finish the bottle. Very interestiing.

Bottle (1997) thanks to my buddy Keith: Poured a burn molasses black brown with a white head. Aroma is boozy, molasses, sticky, chew, light vinous.

1997 bottle opened in 2022. The cork broke. Sieved into a small glas. Black oil with no head or carbonation. Aroma has mushroom, alcohol, boiled vegetables. Tastes like a bitter apple syrup. Mushrooms too. Hidden acidic element behind the syrup.

No head. Aroma is slightly sweet and dry boozy, cocoa, dried dark fruits, oak, dark sugar, burnt caramel, toast, raisins, soil, fruit stones, bark, mocha, coffee liquor, booze, toffee. Taste is sweet sour-ish fruity, raisins, fruit stones, citrus, dried sour dark fruits, oak, cocoa, grass, bark, burnt caramel, coffee liquor, old rope, soil, butterscotch, mocha, toffee, dark sugar, hints of licorice. Medium bitterness, sweet sour-ish boozy mouthfeel. Just lovely, and even a little bit better than 4 years ago. Wish they had continued making this...

9-4-9-5-18=4,5
No head. Aroma is slightly sweet boozy, with lots of notes from a good madeira wine, dark sugar, toffee, raisins, oak, booze, thinner, burnt caramel, dark candi sugar, chocolate, bark. Taste is very concentrated, burnt candi sugar, raisins, oak, bark, cocoa, booze, toffee, burnt caramel, citrus, dark sugar, raw licorice, grass, hints of thinner. Medium to longlasting bitterness, slightly dry and syrupy mouthfeel. Wow, what a lovely treat! Too bad they stopped making this one, even though I doubt it was even drinkable when it was fresh brewed...
