2016 vintage 330ml bottle brought in a Dornbirn supermarket in June 2017 on my multi country road trip, cellared since in Jersey. Pours a clear brown with a small white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, brown sugar, raisins, toffee, dark fruits, bread, nuts, hints of syrup & hints of alcohol. Medium body. Well balanced throughout. Long lingering sweet mildly alcohol finish. Very enjoyable & far better than I expected with the high alcohol reasonably well hidden

I'm a little sleepy, so let's do a 14%.

330 ml 2016 bottle. Unclear brown, small head. Brown sugar, caramel, overripe pear, cognac, wood barrels. Malty sweetness with a dry hint. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, sweet finish. Abv of 14% well hidden, quite smooth. Good!

Flaska från SB, 2016. Klar, kopparbrun med liten smutsvit krona. Sockersött med toner av övermogen frukt, katrinplommon, fruktkaka, efterrättsvin. Större och lite kletig kropp. Viss värme från alkoholen. Blir kanske lite mastigt och sockersött i större mängder.

330ml bottle at home, 2016 version. Pours clear dark brown with an off white head. Aroma: caramel, raisins, sherry. Taste: heavy sweet, dark fruits, prunes, toffee, brown sugar. Medium bodied, light carb, sweet liqueur like finish. Not hugely boozy given the lofty ABV, thought it was nicely balanced overall
