Bottle: Nearly clear, pale gold with a thin white head. Light grainy aroma. Taste is sour/bitter/lactic.......a bit acidic feeling. Watery and bland, with a vague grassy bitterness..... Rather rough.

Super dark brown coloured body with a large, but very fast-dying tan head, only a centimetre tall thick after a few seconds, but starts around four or five centimetres thick. Aroma of roasted malt, raisins, figs, earth, nuts, light grain, metal and a touch of pure apples - nice and incredibly aromatic in terms of the yeast and sugars. Medium-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavours at first with a big dose of metallic funk along with some alcohol, pitted fruits, nuts, earth and a lot of light spices that fade to more of a mellow grainy bitterness. Aftertaste shows a lot of character with the pitted fruits and earthiness the strongest, but also some grain, alcohol, light spices and especially the nutty flavours towards the end, but this ends quite thin without any body at all. Overall, perhaps aged a bit TOO much, as it really diluted the body and the complexity/pungency, here. It was almost too simplistic and didn't show enough character in he malt and yeastie flavours where I assumed it would be stronger. It went down quite easily, in a good way, but it was a bit too thin for the style. Still, it didn't taste anywhere close to 8,5% abv. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from BevMo! in Manhattan Beach, California on 23-February-2016 for US$7,99 sampled at home in Washington a bit more than two years later on 15-April-2018.
