| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 22, 2009 Bottle generously given to me by omhper (Thanks Per!). Unfortunately, Jess accidentally gave this bottle a kick while we were at Akkurat and the cap’s seal broke. Well, we made the most of the situation by drinking it as soon as we made it back to the hostel. Pours dark red with a trace of off-white head. Aroma is very sweet, dark fruity and showing its age a bit. Taste has a big malty sweetness, some chocolate, more plums and raisins, and a slight cardboard taste. Additionally, this had a bit of sour twang to it, which was a bit unexpected. Somewhat thin on the palate and finished with more chocolate and fruit. Color me a fan.

Pours a muddy red with a small creamy beige head. Super aroma. Port, caramel, very deep (over)ripe fruits, light tobacco leaves and light viniousness. Super creamy and oily mouthfeel. Flavour is despicably well-rounded with ripe fruits, chocolate, viniousness and tobacco. I find it amazing that a cellaring brew like this encompasses the high alcohol percentage so damn well.
