Gushy fucker. Opaque dark brown beer, big pale tan head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Airy malts, light creamy sweetness. Nice savoury tang. Mild brett. Good red wine, quite tangy. Little creamy caramel underneath. Smooth finish. Comes together very well, could drink a load of this.

0.25l bottle. Hazy brown body with a light brown head. Aroma and taste of red wine, balsamic vinegar, cocoa and caramel. Like a strong Flanders red. Nice beer.

250ml bottle. Bit of age on it, imported to NZ in July 2013 so a bit older than that. Pours black. Dried figs, brown sugar, dried cherry, biscuit, toast, raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, sour cherry, prunes, marzipan, chocolate, molasses, oak, sweet red fruit finish. Bit of booze to it. Certainly a little oxidation but I think it integrates well. Medium body with quite high carbonation. Absolutely delicious.

Kicsi, tartós, bézs hab, sötétbarna szín. Halványan édeskés, vörösboros, aszalt gyümölcsös, szilvás illat, némi fahordós beütéssel. Édeskés, karamelles, sötét és aszalt gyümölcsös, vaníliás, fahordós, vörörsboros ízvilág. Testes, a gyümölcsössége miatt mégis könnyedén csúszik, közepesen szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Csodás kreáció, jó egyensúllyal, nagyszerű, egymásba simuló ízekkel.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour with hints of ruby. Lasting beige head. Fruity, malty nose with dark fruit, cherries, caramel, chocolate, orange peel, black rye bread and hints of red wine. Malty, fruity, slightly tart taste with notes of cacao, dark chocolate, sour cherries, red fruit, blood-orange, liquorice, black rye bread, oak wood, red wine, spicy hints of tamarind and a tart, vinous finish with a balanced bitterness. Almost full body, with a touch of sweetness. Quite complex, with both chocolate, caramel, red wine, cherries and a slight sourness. Still in very good balance, and really tasty. Excellent beer.
