Bottle. Color: Black, no head. Aroma: Strongly vinuus, red wine, hints of roasted malt, slightly sour notes. Taste: intense notes of dark red wine, notes of roasted malt and moderate sour Bretty notes. Moderate sweet. Pretty heavy boozy. Long lasting vinuous finish. Full body, no carbonation. On the edge of being a beer, judged by taste, but nice. Very nice. Complex, well balanced. Only complaint maybe is that the BA could be a little less and is overwhelming the original Imperial Stout. But overall a unique beer to enjoy slow sipping.
