0.75 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', best before December 2023, cellared for over a year. Black with a thin, slightly creamy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly sourish, gently roasty, quite smoky-medicinal and a little fruity aroma of dark chocolate, licorice, peat, iodine, red berries, red wine, oak and traces of vinegar. Quite sweet, malty, gently sour, roasty, fairly smoky-medicinal, rather vinous-fruity taste of dark chocolate, licorice, red berries, red wine, oak, peat, iodine, quite some vinegar and light glue, followed by a medium long, quite tart, fairly woody-dry, vinous, smoky-medicinal finish. Medium to full body, smooth, moderately astringent and slightly creamy mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Extremely complex beverage, so much going on, just a little gluey and maybe a tad too sour for my liking, otherwise it would be great.
