Przeciętny RIS. Trochę przesadzony, a jednocześnie zbyt mało wyrazistego konkretu.

Bottle at Novare, as pictured, 11/8/25.
Prune and black pepper with long, dry, old lead. Not oxidized, somehow. Chocolate, rum, vanilla, no alcohol. Maybe some old hop?
Soft, still, again not oxidized. Not boozey. Lighter bodied but not thin. Good barrel character. Lots of lead and spice. Easygoing and chocolatey with soft bourbon. For 13 years this is in astoundingly good shape.

Very old bottle @ home shared with Laura. Old batch at least over 10 years old. Amber color, the head disappears quickly. Aroma amd flavor are malts, soft raisins, light booze, wood influences. Overall it held up quite well. Very pleasant and well balanced.

Bottle from the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur city Centre. Poured a crystal clear yellow golden colour with a big lasting frothy white head and lots of champagne bubbles. The aroma is grainy, mineral, light citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light, crisp, fresh, herbal, dry, earthy, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.
