Obviously aged sample Very good cream-coloured head over clear, deep ruby beer. Nutty, portwine, oxydation triumphing. Raisins, bisquit, banana. Ripe banana, dry walnuts, unsweetened portwine. Oxydation, oatmeal cakes or rice wafers. Old reed seatings. Thinned from aging, low carbonation, bit slick. Really aged, of course, but certainly not bad! Txs to Stef!

Flavour is quite spicy of the yeast, some mild dried fruits, toasted and nutty with mild alcohol and some sweet malts to it. Smooth and very good sipper.
