Mild säuerlicher Antrunk. Holzig-würzig, im Mittelteil Brett, dunkle Malznoten, die aber in weiten Teilen nebensächlich erscheinen. Süffig, leicht erhöhte Karbonisierung, erstaunlich süffig in Anbetracht des Alkoholgehalts, der nie in den Vordergrund tritt. Vollmundig, runde Säure, mittellanger Abgang. Gut! 10/11/10/11/12/11

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek', bottled October 2020. Almost clear, ruby with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, vinous-fruity aroma of balsamic vinegar, red grapes, oak, light caramel and a touch of funk. Minimally sweet, gently sour, rather vinous-fruity, quite woody taste of red wine, balsamic vinegar, lots of oak, leather and some caramel, followed by a medium long, quite tart, fairly woody, gently vinous and slightly funky finish. Medium body, gently astringent and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Fairly complex, rather well-balanced, still quite demanding beer. Really good!

Bottle picked up from Beyond Beer Webshop, Hamburg. Had this Thursday 25th February 2021, listening Tom Robinson sitting in for Marc Riley on 6Music, we had a Spaghetti Bolognese. Pours deep reddy brown colour the head swiftly departed. Aroma of sour cherries, balsamic vinegar and wet, musty wood and a red wine that has been opened and slightly oxidised. Taste is more of the above, tart and tangy but surprising drinkabilty for the abv, it really hides the abv marvellously well.
