Sampled from bottle at Craft Bier Fest Wien Tasting Sessions.
Brown, copperish body, with a small, beige head.
Aroma of nuts, caramel, dried fruits, dark berries, alcohol.
Tastes of booze, nuts, cocoa, berries, dried fruits, caramel, some barrel notes.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes alcoholic, astringent, sweet, malty, fruity.
Very nice. Maybe a bit too alcoholic, otherwise really good. Could be a bit more complex for a high ABV, barrel aged beer, but still a full, comfortable sipper.

Bottle. Aroma malty, sweetish caramelly. Hazy golden colour. Quite a lot of chilli in taste, however it finishes rather quickly which makes for rather drinkable chilli beer. However it overpowers everything else.

getrunken ca 2015 Ein Imperial Red Ale sieht man auch nicht alle Tage. Es ist ein intensives Bier mit einem fast schon übervollen malzigen Körper. Warme Karamellnoten treffen auf kirschige Rumtopf-Aromen. Dazu etwas Holz und Torf im Nachhall. Ein etwas kompliziertes, schweres Bier für den Abend.
