(Bottle 33 cl) Bottle no. 16 - aged version, best before 08. 2003. Pours a hazy, dark brown with an orange glow and an off-white head. Vinous aroma. Medium-bodied with plenty of roasted malt. Rather complex flavours with accents of dried fruit and a vinous, lightly tart edge without much bitterness. Also this Sierrvoise really has aged with grace. Thanks to fiulijn. 080506

(Bottle 33 cl) Bottle # 30, aged version - best before June 2003. Pours a hazy, greyish golden with fluid impurities - big chunks of yeast. Bubbly, pop-like head that lasts for approximately 2 secs. Heavily carbonated. Slightly tart, citrusy nose. Very thin body with vague accents of citrus - no real trace of malt. Dry finish. Not much life left in this one. 030506

Beer coloured as (opaque) cola; head too, but creamy and rather steady. Nose with sweet chocolate and dark grain. Sharp-sourish taste, typical for dark barley-like grains, but unfortunately going over temporarily in a sweet liquorice flavour. Finish is again sourish-grainy. I seem to get quite some lactic acid. Medium bodied; sour, but not sharp aftertaste. Bit of alcoholburn ( 8%, after all). Quite enjoyable beer. But compared to some of the French, and especially Brittany’s dark barley beers it lacks a bit in character. The extra alcohol doesn’t see to that. It’s too sour for a stout.

[Batch 18 - expired August 2003] A pitch black very lively beer - it "jumped" out of the bottle. The livelyness gives it a huge dark brown head - but it disappears very quickly too. The aroma is sweet chocolate with faint coffee notes and ditto alcohol. The flavor is "warm"; very malty from a very complex malt blend, there is roasted malt, chocolate, toffee and coffee, but also notes of plums and fresh apples. It ends on a good bitterness primarily from roasted or burnt malts. A really lovely flavor. And the palate is quite good. All in all a really good beer. Thanks to Alex (Fiulijn) for bringing me this great beer.
