Backlog July 2015. Clear copper red body under a dense off-white head. Mild aroma with caramel malt, toffee and dry fruit. Taste is quite sweet with caramel malt, dry fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium body and sweet malty aftertaste. Drinkable, but sweet and not very exciting.

Optisch zeigt sich leicht trübes, dunkles Kupfer. Die sehr feine und ansehnsiche Perlage macht dieses Bild nicht uninteressanter. Obenauf findet sich eine cremefarbene bis leicht bräunliche, feinporige Schaumkrone, welche sich überaus stabil und langlebig präsentiert. Die Duftaromatik wirkt sehr süß, malzig bis leicht würzig und erinnert an Waldhonig, Dörrobst und sogar leicht an Rumpflaume. Der Antrunk kommt feinrezent, süßlich-herb und kräftig malzig bis karamellig. Am Gaumen ebenso kräftig aromatisch, röstig-karamellig, holzig-würzig und leicht belegend. Dieses Spiel der Aromen, welches an dunkle Schokolade und Mon Chéri erinnert, darf man als eher herb bezeichnen - jedoch sehr angenehm herb. Alles in allem ergibt das ein gutes Trinkgefühl, sowie eine ganz gute Süffigkeit. Der Nachtrunk gestaltet sich röstaromatisch, zartherb und durchaus gut.

500ml bottle: BBD 1st December 2022. Drank at home on 6th March 2022. Mahogany coloured body with an off-white/beige head. Malty molasses in the nose and taste, it's pretty sweet throughout. Expected some spiciness, but it didn't arrive. It's fine but I'd hoped for more flavour.
