330 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with moderate tannish head. Aromas of vinous oak, port, candi sugar, raisins and soft toasty malts. Flavors follow same with more port, almost tart oaky wine, berries and dark fruit. Very good.

Red brown colour with almost no head or carbonation. The aroma has a tart woody vinous note akin to a Vlaams Rood, edging on vinegar. Taste is not really sour though. Base notes of raisins and red wine. Moving into oak and slightly sharp berries. Touch of vanilla and soft tannins. Complex and intense.

Donker roodbruin bier zonder schuim. Smaak is fris fruitig licht zoetzuur met iets van bramen, wat aardbei, druiven en overduidelijk wat rode wijn.
