Bottle, 75cl ceramic. Vintage 2009 it seems. 12% ABV. It pours an almost clear orange-golden body and no head. Quite oily. The aroma has some fruityness, and lots of malty sugar and some peaches and other tropical fruits. There’s some warmth on the palate, it’s full-bodied and a bit sticky, but far from cloying. The flavor has lots of malts, some sugar and a little touch of peaches, finishing more or less in the same way. A nice one, but it lacks on complexity and it could use some more bitterness.. 121110

Draught at the Yokohama GJBF 2012. Black with lace. Nose is a bit of berry-phenols, charcoal, coffee. Flavor is a little funky, berry, chocolate, cocoa. Not very interesting, a little bit off seeming.

Draft at GJBF 2009, Osaka. Honey-like, golden color. Honey, fruity, very sweet. Doesn’t fit the style too well. Too fruity. Ok, but too much honey and fruit. Lacks balance and malt richness, as well as the bock mouth feel.
