0,33 l bottle. Pours orange brown, but when one looks at glass towards light it is absolutely beautiful ruby red. Almost no head, and what is there dissipates almost immediately. Aroma is malty, plenty of roasted nuts, dried fruit, chocolate, fusel alcohol, some vinous acidity and spice. Taste is heavy sweet, mild acidic, medium bitter. Body is full, texture oily, but not heavy. Not bad for 12% ABV. Finish is very long, pleasant bitterness, acidity.

Bottle. Dirty brown, beige head, not so lasting. Mild malty nose, biscuits, chocolate, nuts, roasted notes and wood, later on some alcohol. Medium bitterness, some minimal dry fruit. Quite some vinous character, tart and dry. Lasting aftertaste, dry. Lighter body. No trace of alcohol.
