Bottle. Pours hazy leathery brown with large white foamy head. Aroma is malty and fermented with notes of ripe fruit, dark bitter chocolate, (red wine) vinegar, plums and prunes. Taste is light to medium sweet and light to medium bitter in good balance. Body is creamy with soft carbonation. Finish is long, smooth and light sweet with notes of malt, caramel, baked chestnuts, chocolate and balsamic vinegar. Very well balanced and rich.

Bottle (Helsinki Beer Festival 2010) - Shared with Doggythedog and Tbone. Amber with a slight haze. Slightly fruity aroma with fried fruit and toffee. The taste is fruity, malty and has hints of caramel, nuts and toffee. Not bad, but the chestnuts are not as noticeable as I thought they would be.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at HBF2010) Poured dark brown and cloudy with small and white head. Aroma contained malts, alcohol and chestnut. Palate was full bodied and dry with quite a lot of carbonation. Flavours were malts, sweetness, caramell, hops and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. Not an ordinary barley wine.
