375 ml vintage 2009, bottled 2017. Amber, slightly hazy body. Sweet, dense aroma of pears, honey, fruit gum, almond. Tastes very dry, less aromatic. Oily mouthfeel. Finishes very dry, warm, fruity, wooden, a bit nutty. I should have went with the sweet version, not my cup of tea. Lovely nose with dense fruits, but tastes much too dry, not well balanced in my opinion. Score: 8 / 4 / 6 / 3 / 14

Small sample thanks to SinH4! Clear golden with no head. Soft dry pear, marzipan, whisky, vanilla, strong oak, boozy, cognac, dry sherry. Lots of nice oxidized and woody notes, soft lemon, tart pear and dark sugary notes. Medium sweet and sour, light bitter. Solid medium bodied. More like a distillate, but quite nice.

Bottle consumed with the Munich Ratebeer Group Tasting at Jonas's house, Garching, Monday 15th April 2019. I did enjoy this, but it is dry perhaps too dry for me, far too dry, I prefer the sweet, but I got used to it and appreciated it. However as Stefan suggests this is better mixed with the sweet.
