2006 version, from the cask at the Rake, August 2007. Deep amber color. No head. No bubbles. Rich fruit and malt aroma, sweet and port-like with molasses. Tangy, sour, fruity flavor. Tons of malt, lots of alcohol. Sweet, with dark fruits. Hot, dry alcohol and fruit finish. A bit too young, but great.

Bottles shared thx to gnoff cons 2011-02-26 Göteborg AR: essence of barly wine, alcoholic, tart AP: dark reddish, wee white head F: vinos, marsipan, sweet slippery, nutty - almond, warming 4,0* new everage 4,1 Provdatum: 2008-12-06 , flaska, Göteborg - 2008 edition No T 34393. Komplex, stor kropp som flytande fudge över tungan, oljig konsistens. Man kanske skulle ha köpte ett par stycken och druckigt en i halvåret? Nej, jag har inte nått den öl expertisen nivån ännu. Anteckningar: Sheila tog till och med slatten. Det brukar jag också göra - oftast helt OK att förtära speciellt om man tittar till priset på denna ädla 25åring... Tur att det är billigare än motsvarnde Wiskey. Fantastisk! 2007 edition! Provdatum: 2008-01-03
