8.3/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
From bottle at MB2 31.07.26. Bottle is marked best before 09-2026, but I do not know what vintage that males it. Anyway, I do not see the point in allocating vintages to beers that are not marked with a specific vintage year. And this is not.

Dark mahogany. Foamy and fizzy beige head. Fine aroma of dries red berries and dark candy sugar. Very fine taste of roasted malt, dried red berries and currants. Also a hint of cough medicine.
