Tap. Dark brown color. Vinous aroma with grapes, rye bread and amandelspijs. Thinnish, but with a rounded sourness. Oak, grapes, sherry. Lovely and complex beer.

I Draught /I Bit disparate greyish white head over jet-black beer. Nice woody, lactic acid touch, hints @ red fruit and liquorice. More of the same in the mouth, but tastewise just a slightly bit empty in body. Fruity notes haven't followed either, but the lactic acid and wood are there, just a hint of chocolate. Light body, not much carbonation, bit slick, wood-dry. Despite the criticism, I rather like this! Maybe a soupçon of chocolate malts might have helped?

Oak, mouldy tartness, subtle cherries. Underwhelming. 3.4
