Poured @ MBCC 2023 red session (finally adding my notes). Clear gold with small white head. Belgian yeast, feint booziness, just okay.

Bottle @ Etre. Pours cloudy dark amber golden with a settling white head. Deep and vinous nose. Sultanas, dried apricot, red wine and vanilla. Sharp at first with flavor weirdly being quite metallic. 30 minutes later it either settled, opened or I twirled it away. Vinous and potetent with future qualities. Looking forward to another bottle in 6-12 months.

12 years later and it’s quite full on. Sweetness has gone and it’s quite barley wine like now.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a reddish-brown with a moderate sized off white to beige head with lots of staying power. Aroma has a deep malt and yeast character which includes a nice fruitiness that compliments. Taste has a great depth and complexity to it being malty, spice, toffee, red wine, dark fruits, cherry, liquorice, bitter and boozy finish. Medium to full bodied, smooth, slightly syrupy, fine carbonation. Stunning, one of the best beers I have ever had.
