T: sweetish raisin, brown bread, liquorice, toast.

Nothing extraordinary, but pairs well with the famous spare ribs and I'm pleasantly surprised that the restaurant picked Contreras instead of a typical commercial giant like Huyghe or Van Steenberge. Cheers to that, and I'll have to revisit soon to try the blonde.
