Thank you for sharing yespr! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG17. Shared another one @ train post-BXLFest 2017. First bottle behaved well. Second one was a MASSIVE GUSHER. Oddly the second one was a better beer. Dark brown going to black, tanned head. Nose is herbal plastic, leaves, overly watery sour barrel oak. Far too watery for its own good. First bottle had clear oxidation, second one not so much, spoiled cherry, plastic (mainly first one), barrel, old oak, finish is oak & red cherry, good finish on the second bottle but far too watery, messy & weak. Bit of a disappointment.

Bottle. A mild gusher (it was warm and shaken a bit). Pours dark brown-black with beige head. Aroma is roast, fruits, berries, oak. Flavor is sweet and bitter, fruits, berries, booze, roast, oak. Finish has berries with boozy kick. Overall: I quite like it, minus the gushing (but that’s partly my fault).
