7.4

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

DRAFT. Hazy amber-red, beige head. THE aroma has quite a bit of red wine / pomace / light vinegar notes, oak vanilla blending nicely in. The malts are getting lost behind. The taste is halfway beweet an basic dubbel with a bit of wine barrel footorints, tannic dryness. Yep, nice but not as spectacular as the Tripel. 3,7/5.

BOTTLE. Hazy red-brown, big beige head. The aroma has quite a few things going on apart from the usual suspects. There's the expected notes of dark fruit and dark crystal malts (though, not as strong as in the base beer), there's wine barrel - both woody and pomace notes, vanilla fruit cake, even notes of licorice candies - sort of like salmiakki. The taste follows, with those dark fruit / wine barrel notes, light sweetness, subtle spicy bitterness. Yep, the wine barrel certainly adds some interesting notes but also mutes the classic dark fruit / crystal sugar / spicy booze profile. Interesting, solid, though not a breakthrough success. 3,7/5.
