5th Feb 2016: De Bierboom, Brugge. Shared from a bottle at the 4th International Beer Swap. Thanks whoever brought it. Strange shaped bottle, there was two of them, so we all got a good sized sample. Dark amber pour with a thin beige head. Malty nose with caramel notes intertwined with Sherry and Port traces, some herbal and spice traces also in the complex aroma. The taste followed along the same lines, semi-sweet from the caramel like molasses, yet with a mild tartness from the aging and Wine traces, spices flavours added to the interestingly flavoured beer. Hid the alcohol very well. One of the many highlights of the evening.
