Bottle at home shared with Laura. Brownish color, average to medium sized beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, caramalts, sweetish, balanced brown candy sugar, toffee. Soft texture, smooth carbonation. Pretty good.
Very nice strong ale. Bottle at home.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Opaque black color, medium sized off-white to beige head. Smell and taste malts, dusty iron, a bit tart-ish, odd, wood. Meh. Quite bad tbh. Unbalanced.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Clear dark golden color, some floaties in there, average sized white head. After pouring in the secind half of the bottle the beer becomes murky / cloudy, ugly, reddish. Aroma is malts, a bit weird hoppy, oxidation, metallic. Hmm not not very good.

Color marrón oscuro, opaca, espuma beige de retención media. Aroma a malta tostada, chocolate, frutos secos...todo ello sostenido por un muy atractivo aire 'sour' de fondo. En boca los ésteres de levadura dan base a diversos matices de fruta fresca, fruta pasificada, caramelo, pan negro, especias...y todo ello aderezado con un delicioso toque agrio. Alcohol imperceptible. No es precisamente una cerveza de trago largo, pero está tan deliciosa y tiene una textura tan agradable que podrías bebertela en cuatro tragos y pedir otra. Madre mía qué delicia.

Color marrón rojizo, muy oscura, espuma beige poco persistente. Aroma muy rico y complejo, notas de pera, malta tostada, fruta pasificada (pasas, dátil, ciruela), frutos secos...En boca entra sedosa y suave, cargada de sabor y matices, pasas, frutos secos, caramelo, toque de especias, chocolate...posee cierta nota tanto en nariz como en boca que me recuerda al melón. Dulzor en su justa media, final seco y moderadamente amargo. Deliciosa, una pedazo de cerveza.

Bottle 33 cl. Dark brown with red, close to chestnut, with a very fluffy yellow head. Aroma: sweet, filled with caramel and berries: redcurrant jam, raisins, dried dates and other dried fruits, fortified wine. Taste: sweetish, caramel, dried fruits, black and redcurrant jam, a touch of prune, vinous, with a light iodine note. No bad.
