75 cl bottle @ wPBF Ⅲ
Aroma is very mellow with some whisky tones and licorice. Flavour has red wine, oaky tones and soy sauce. Slightly tart and palate is quite close to red wine.

Bottled@wPBFIII. Black colour, no head. Flat. Aroma is liquorice, some whisky and mild wooden notes. Flavour is liquorice, quite dry wooden notes as well. The barrel aging more or less hides the worst infection notes of this one.

Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Near black, perfectly flat, no head. Vague caramelly nose with a lemony edge. Mid sweet with medium-full body and rounded, oily mouthfeel. Sourish caramel, some bread, notes of whisky. Low bitterness. Pretty bad, but best of the series (which I am not exactly dying to complete...)

Bottle shared at the RBESG 2014, grand tasting 10/08/2014 Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell. Dark mahogany brown coloured pour with no head, thick and viscous. Aroma is hot alcohol, spicy, soft roast and some coconut. Flavour is horrible infected, sour, stale grains and alcohol, bile. Palate is full and sticky, hot harsh alcohol. Lingering bile. Rancid.

Bottle shared during the RBESG London 2014 Sunday Tasting. Pours deep brown with no head. The nose is dark bread, burnt wood and chocolate. Light sweet flavor with lots of dry wood, sour and tannic bite. Light to medium bodied with minimal carbonation and oily texture. Dry and sour on the finish, highly astringent and woody with lots of bitter charred malts. Difficult to drink. Offensive.

RBESG pt 19. Craft Clerkenwell. Grandish Tasting. Thanks to Leighton for hauling this in. Opaque dark brown beer, no head. Palate is light and dry. Sourish dark malt. Light pruney fruits. Perhaps a touch of whiskey. Light sour finish. Pretty messy and unpalatable.
