Aus der Flasche (Vintage 2015) im 2023-06 getrunken. Dieses braune Ale hat eine spannende Aroma von einer Rotwein-Bratensoße. Am Gaumen wirkt die einjährige Fasslagerung in den Pinot Noir Fässer sich deutlich fruchtig aber auch recht trocken durch den Einfluss des Holzes aus. Ein spannendes Bier wobei es deutlich ein dunkles Strong Ale ist. Etwas mehr Süße, um den Holzeinfluss auszubalancieren würde dem Bier mehr Tiefe geben. Spannend!

Can. Murky orange with a 2cm white head that lasts OK. 3+ Shyish aroma with mandarin, pineapple, a little little edge of lime, crackers. More vibrant taste but along the same lines - perhaps more tropical fruit (incl. coconut). Low bitterness with a slightly astringent buzz. Pretty good.

500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the New Zealand Bert Collective and drunk at home. Light to mid-golden and hazy with a small foamy white head. Lots, and I mean lots of sediment. Aroma of gooseberry, loquat, lemon juice, candy sugar. Sour taste with juicy sourness lying beneath, leading to a relatively short finish. More lightly sugared gooseberry in the aftertaste. Full body, medium to heavy carbonation. Incredible.
