Tap at La Mala Buena, Alicante, Spain. Pours amber gold, medium transparent, with almost no foam. Aroma is slightly acetic, a little fruity. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is well balanced between decent bitterness and some initial sweetness. Final is average. My suspect is that either this keg is defective, or the line is dirty...

33 cl bottle, gift from Dawat's Javi Donate (thank you!) A very cloudy brown pour with a thin tan head. Aroma owes a lot to the wooden casks and the dark malts: molasses, candied sugar, caramel... There's a hint of timber, too; and also ash and funk. Sweetish, very low-bodied (even watery). Low crispness and almost no bitterness. Aftertaste brings a tinge of artificial sweetener.

25 cl bottle served in a large snifter. A dark amber, almost pale brown pour, slightly cloudy, with nice greenish highlights. Tan head disappears in the blink of an eye. Aroma is very sweet: molasses, candied apple, cinnamon, strawberry lollipop, sugar-coated oranges, black tea, rye bread. Low carbo, boozy, chewy. Rather sweet, nice acidity, very little bitterness. Long-lasting finish with tinges of orange and brown sugar. It's actually better than what I expected from the few previous reviews, I must say.

Pours darker amber, no sign of foam nor carbonation. Scent is mildly oxidized, syrupy, barley juice. Tad sharp ( metallic?) taste is relatively mild. Has traces of bitterness, but is mostly sweet. Not giving away its very high abv. Syrupy body, mild carbonation. Barley, yet à tad sharp. Not convinced on the metallic, but it heads towards that aspect for sure. Not great, but I've had far worse. At least not nearly the alcoholic bomb I feared. Just a bit pointless given its low taste intensity, to drink this kind of abv monster. Especially since the taste itself ain't all that great.

33cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours practically black with moderate brown foam. Aroma is intense of coffee, dark chocolate, dates. Body is pretty full, with moderate ticking carbonation and some stickiness. Taste is medium-high sweet, with some roastiness. Lots of vanilla. Final is actually average.
