Bottled. Deep ambery brown colour with big beige fluffy head. Aroma is mildly roasted malts with caramel and slightly sour citrus fruit in it. Some weak metallic notes can also be found as the beer warms up a bit. Flavour is raisins, swett malty along with some mild notes of chocolate and licorice. Also quite fruity notes. Alcohol shows in the form of a nice burning touch. Aftertaste is mainly licorice and bigtime malts.

6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
(Bottle 25 cl) Pours a slightly hazy golden with a tall and lively, white head. Slightly vinous aroma with some overripe fruit. Light body with some fruitiness - overripe - and then this somewhat oxidized, sherry-like touch. Very subdued bitterness. Clearly age has some impact here, but I kinda think it has aged pretty gracefully considering the low ABV. 171207

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
(33cl bottle, courtesy of DerDoppelbock) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a big blond foamy head. Sweet grainy and slightly sour fruity (citrus, grapes, passion-fruit) aroma with a moderate yeast-character and a light tinge of hops in the background. Sweet flavour, cara-malty and fruity taste with early alcoholic notes; medium to full bodied with a well-matured carbonation; finishes rather slim with fruity notes and alcohol. Smells promising but does not perform in an adequate way.
