Aus der Flasche im 2024-01 getrunken. Dieses Olde Ale hat durch die Fassreifung mit geräucherten Pflaumen nun ein deutlichen saueren Charakter bekommen. Dazu kommt die Pflaumen eine deutliche Räuchernote hinterlassen haben und sich so Aromen von einer alten, öligen Dampflok entstanden sind. Das ist sicher kein Bier für jeden Tag und fordert deutliche Aufmerksamkeit durch seinen komplexen Aromen ein.

Sample (thanks omhper!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is fruity, floral, dark dried fruity, some toffeeish and mild alcohol tones. Flavour is bananas, some dried fruits, some fruity an mild alcohol tones and liquorice. Quite oily palate.

Bottle. Color: Very dark ruby, very thin mocha head. Aroma: Sweet, malty, caramel, dark dried fruit. Taste: Sweet, Bourbon, Rum. Bit boozy. Caramel, malty, sirupy. Subtle dark dried fruit. Lightly warming mouthfeel at the finish. Some oak wood. Strong one... Bit unbalanced. Full body, low carbonation. Over medium sweet, light to moderate bitterness. Too sweet for me.
