Bottle. Color: Clear ruby to copper, thin very light brown head. Batch 0056, bbf 10/2018, which is pretty strange because of earlier review here on Ratebeer with batch 0056, bbf 30/06/2017. Closer inspection of the label shows a sticker that is put over the Original label, reading bbf 30/06/2017. What did happen over here? Who put that sticker on the label? Aroma: Notes of red fruit, caramel, hints of raisins. Taste: Rather sweet light roasted malty, notes of caramel, toffee, brown sugar, dried red fruit. Hints of nuts. Bit sweetish boozy, mostly at the finish. Flat, no carbonation. Lightly sticky mouthfeel. Not bad, but a bit too sweet and a bit too flat, lacking complexity in my opinion.
