Bottle at home shared with Laura. Murky brown color, medium to full sized light brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, brown malts, sweet notes, but also malt bitters. Hmm a bit hard to describe and also imo not so balanced but overall also not so bad.

Bottle [12 months aged on Red wine says the label] at home shared with Laura. Dark red-brown color, deep red hue coming through, medium sized off-white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, heavy red wine influence, wood, tart notes, cherries somehow, cherry stone. Not really my thing but it does have the red wine barrel influence that it should have according to the label.

Can at home. Hazy unclear pale yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, fruity hops but not really my kind of hops tbh, over the top imo and also artificial hoppy. Meh. Not my kind of hoppiness.
