Bottle shared in London - thanks to Mitchy. Pours deep amber with a creamy topping. The nose smacks of booze, ripe berries, wood. Medium sweet flavour, some toffee, a little ripe apple, bread, leathery berries. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Warming finish, some woody notes, earth, toasted caramel, more leathery berries. Solid.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with eManu. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber with a thin off white head. The aroma is sweet malt, light yeasty, light dry fruit. The flavour is moderate sweet with a crisp, light sweet sugary alcohol yeast warm alcoholic bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Sampled at the RBBWG 2017. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours rather clear amber/brown, smell is rich, red wine, oak. Taste is full, red fruits, oak, red wine. Not much left of the basebeer, but a nice taste instead of it. Great taste, but quality wise, this should not become a standard...

Thank you kraddel! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG VI (2017). Dark red amber, little tanned head. Nose is sour rotting red grape with excessive sugar, spoiled licorice & bark. Taste is soap, chemical rotting red grapes, soar, chemical mixed with lots of soap, sugar, overly sweet bark,... Quite a mess & below expectations. Body is fizzy soap, licorice, sweet red wine. It should be better than this I feel, they used the same barrels as used for the awesome Bush de Nuits, this doesn’t really work for me, hard to drink.

Bouteille 75cl de Bierhalle. No BB. Cuivre ambrée, col fin beige. Arôme donne de suite des effluves de vin rouge avec une certaine douceur fruitée dominante. Fruits noirs - cassis et prune, sucre résiduel bien présent avec une petite touche houblonnée qui envoie de fines effluves d’amertume. Retrouve un côté de dates, pas grand chose au niveau de la barrique. Palais est finement amer tirant sur les noisettes. Le tout contrebalancé par une certaine douceur persistante de vin rouge, raisins secs, impression de prunes macérées, malté avec un caractère biscuité. Qcq tanins prennent place avec un fin qui après un petit verre devient bcp trop doux au point d’en éclipser le caractère complexe de la Silly Scotch. Ok, pas mauvaise, mais une méthode de barrique pas maitrisée, on est loin des Nuits St George de Bush de Nuits.
