Bottle @ home (bottled May 2015. Pours a dark brown color with a beige head. Aroma's: sweet, dried dark fruit, raisins, wood, light vanilla, light boozy/bourbon. Retronasal it's sweetish, raisins, molasses, toffee, light fruity, light boozy. Flavor is moderate sweet with light fruity sourness. Clearly some alcoholic booziness, but not sharp or burning. Medium bodied. Finishes slightly woody. Very nice, just like the base beer, but next time I should drink this fresh.

Bottle @ home for X-mas. Been in my cellar for a ridiculous 3 years or so, while I've never had this before. Anyway, pours a dark brown color, almost opaque. A nice beige head that doesn't last. Aroma's: brown sugar, dried fruit, raisins (definitely the age). Retronasal it's sweet, fruity, something herbal, spices, a bit oxidized. Flavor is light moderate sweet, dark malts, light spicy, light bitter. Medium bodied. Short finish. Very nice, but I hope I'll be able to try this fresh sometime. Oh, btw: Baltic Porter???? Abbey Dubbel would be more appropriate imho.
