Aus der Flasche (bbe 30.04.2030) im 2025-08 getrunken. Dieses dunkelbraune Ale hat ein sehr deutliches Liebstöckel-/Mable Sirup Aroma. Erinnert an ein sehr getreidiges/Braotartiges Barley Wine mit einer kräftigen Süße. Das Bourbon BA ist deutlich und man kann im Hintergrund eine feine Frucht vom Red Wine BA entdecken. Mich stört dieses doch sehr dominante Liebstöckel-/Mable Sirup Aroma, wodurch die Balance verloren geht. Der Köper wirkt dadurch auch sehr mächtig, obwahl der Alkohol recht gut eingebunden ist. Leider komme ich bei diese Bier nicht ins Jubeln. Vielleicht hätte es noch 2-3 Jahre in der Flasche reifen sollen.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Almost clear mahogany, no head. Red wine, toffee, yoghurt, red berries, oak, vanilla, alcohol, dry earthy notes, chestnuts. Over medium sweet, less bitter, light sour. Full bodied, bit dry. Not amazing but very complex and interesting.

Bottle. Color: Very dark copper, fast disappearing mocha-colored bubbles. Aroma: Dark dried fruit, vinuous, Bourbon notes, hints of Brett funk. Taste: No carbonation, vinuous red wine / Port-like, oxidation, dark dried fruit (figs, dates), Bourbon, oak wood and almond notes and subtle Brett notes. Lightly boozy hints. Full body. Sticky mouthfeel. Medium sweet with a moderate to over moderate bitterness and slighly tartness. Interesting. A lot of flavours to explore. Very likeable for an Old Stock Ale lover like me.
