UPDATED: FEB 4, 2021 Bottle at home in Hackney - no idea where I got it, maybe the Kernel rotbox. BBE 2016, brewed in 2010, so I reckon this was bottled somewhere around 2011-2014. Pours clear, deep ruby with an impressively sturdy, frothy khaki head. Medium to big sweet, some nice stewed semi-dark fruits, berries, figs, dates, light earthy-leafy bitterness, toffee, toasted bread. Medium to full bodied, lightly oily, with fine, massaging carbonation. Somewhat warming and sticky in the finish, more toffee, dates, leafy hops, alcohol, toasted grains, nips of oxidation. It's a damn good brew that has aged well.

from Mondial de la Bière, Strasbourg - opaque ruby-brown beer with a moderate beige foam left; aroma of molasses, figs and raisins, toasted; thick, full-bodied and fairly sweet; sticky and malty finish with long notes of honey, nuts, molasses, prunes and figs; some warming alcohol notes - rich and robust

Flaska (tack NordicV). Grumlig honungsfärgad öl med smutsvitt skum. Karamell, torkad frukt, alhohol och äpple i doften. Smakinslag av karamell, trä, torkad frukt, apelsinmarmelad och alkohol. Just alkoholen drar ner betyget, den är inte värmande utan väldigt påtaglig. Jag hade personligen gärna sett att flaskan inte var på 500 ml, för det blir mycket som ska ner så att säga.

Heavy caramel in the aroma. The taste is rich and complex. Low carbomation. Can not feel the high alcohol.
