[Senatsbockanstich 2021] Nice nose: cask influence and marriage brings acidic and wooden aroma, also vanilla, roasted malts. Taste starts funky and follows the nose. Faint smokey, herbal, brandy-apple twist. Really good stuff!

750ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, redd-ish, dark amber colour with average, firm, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Mellow malty and minimally fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of red berries, very weak, nutty, earthy woody undertones. Taste is mellow malty, slightly fruity hoppy and minimally dry woody, hints of red berries, an earthy, almost a bit nutty and fungous touch of seasoned oak. Minimally creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Not spectacular but quite homogeneous, mild, without edges, definitely profiting from the woody flavours - not bad.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 18.01.2023) im 2021-11 getrunken. Dieser dunkle Bock hat eine schön ausgeprägte, beige Schaumkrone. In der Nase etwas verhaltene Volkornbrot-Note dazu ganz leicht malzig und nach hinten ist das ganz leichte Noten von einen alten Cognac? Am Gaumen haben sich die Aromen sehr stark abgerundet und Malz, Schokolade, Sauerteig Aromen sind sehr harmonisch verwoben.
