Bottle. Pours a dark reddish amber brown with a thick white head. Aromas of green Apple, oak, sour raspberries, slight booze. Taste is pretty sour raspberries up front, green Apple, funk and yeast. Earthy and oaky finish.

75 cl bottle. Red brown color. Hints of raspberry, cherry, oak and dust in the aroma. Dry, oaky flavor with just a touch of tartness. lemon and a hint of raspberry. Dry, woody aftertaste. Nice one, without being spectacular.

Enormous thanks Matt for sharing! Amber-red body, off whtie head. Dry aroma, raisins, dusty, mild acidity. Dry taste, raisins, fruit, solid tartness, full malty backbone touches of glue perhaps, ends quite dry. All in all, very much a fine beer.
