Poured from a 22 oz 2011 bottle. Aroma is is fruity with a large sherry note along with some fig, date, prune and raisin. Moderate caramel and toffee notes. A slight ashy, burnt note. Some medium light cardboard oxidation. Pours a hazy, dark burnt amber color with a medium sized, moderately thick, tan head head that slowly recedes to the edges. Moderate lacing and meidum long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with a lot of fruit notes. Lots of sherry, plum, fig, date, prune and raisin. Some light cherry and berry as well. Medium caramel and toffee notes with a bit of toasted bread. Some treacle as well and a touch of a burnt note. Medium bitterness with no hop flavor. Lingering fruit with a touch of spice and some caramel. A light cardboard note, but this has held up pretty well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low, but present astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very fruity beer. Good malt notes and a lot of fruit esters in both the aroma and flavor. Oxidation is definitely creeping into the aroma, but the flavor is still holding up pretty well.

Torkad och övermogen frukt Physsalis, sharon, gula hallon, aprikoser, aningen tvålig, lätt vinös, låg beska. Söt men på ett fruktigt sätt. Elegant, komplex, lättdrucken och riktigt gott.

650ml bottle. Minimally cloudy reddish dark amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Caramel malty aroma with bready notes, hints of red berries, hints of yeasty spicyness. Taste is initially heavy, sweet caramel malty, notes of sweet bread, toffee, red berries, blue grapes, close to the finish lighter, more fruity, with a citrusy dash, subtle yeasty spicy note troughout. Slightly vinous character, too sweet.
