Aged sample Despite its age, seriously gushing to small, if persistent, just off-white head over clear reddish-foxy beer. Solvent, woodstripper, varnish. Sweet cherrysyrup. Oxydation (of course), estery. Sweet wine, oxydation +/- in check. Again sweet red fruit and just a touch of solvent. Drier finish. Bit still, dull-ish; lightly sticky, maybe medium bodied. OK, it's aged. But a 9% ABV beer lagered on wine barrels ought to resist better. Txs to Stef!

Slow gusher. Pours with a massive fizzy head that fades very quickly. Aroma and flavour dominated by raw bread dough and candy sugar. Clearly defective.

Towering dense white head over finely carbonated clear metallic golden beer. Very spicy, herbal nose, explosive aromas upon opening. Bit sweet notes too, malty, grassy and suchlike. Bitterish-herbal but mainly sweet, pale malts main flavour. Bitterishness seems to be linked to the hops - Chinook - but it doesn't show the typical fruity C-hops' profile. Dry leaves, dry-crusted milk. Medium bodied, slick as from herbal oils, medium carbonated, and a creamy feel from the very steady head. Ho-hum, 13 to the dozen, really. Txs to Stef!
