Aus der Flasche (Vintage 2015) im 2023-06 getrunken. Dieses braune Ale hat eine spannende Aroma von einer Rotwein-Bratensoße. Am Gaumen wirkt die einjährige Fasslagerung in den Pinot Noir Fässer sich deutlich fruchtig aber auch recht trocken durch den Einfluss des Holzes aus. Ein spannendes Bier wobei es deutlich ein dunkles Strong Ale ist. Etwas mehr Süße, um den Holzeinfluss auszubalancieren würde dem Bier mehr Tiefe geben. Spannend!

Bottle, thanks Sten. Pour reddish amber, not much foam there. Vinegar in the nose, somewhat musty, red currant or cranberry juice. Taste has dry red currants, vinegar, balsamico, good balance there. Very satisfying, it also helps that I really like this style. Musty red currant marmalade, leading to a tart and somewhat acidic finish. I do enjoy this.

Bottle shared at THT January ‘19. Near clear brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of tart overripe dark fruits, damp, light brett and a touch of chlorine. Flavour is moderate sweet and sour. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
