Bottled. An amber beer with no head. The aroma has notes of malt, honey, caramel, and wood. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and alcohol, leading to a dry finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottle, courtesy of fiulijn. Pours cloudy deep amber with no head. Aroma is overripe fruity and dark malty. Sweet, dark caramelish, vanilla and slight wooden. Lingering smooth caramelish and subdued fruity. Elegant, fragile and smooth. Lasting dark malty impression, sweet and phenolic mixed with alcohol.

The Xyauyù Ultimate tasting

Hazy color, dark amber, with red hue; flat. Caramel aroma, with some oxidisation, like a dubious quality Madeira and Chinese rice wine, some alcohol and very light phenol; later there is a very light fruity note (prunes); not extremely inviting overall. Sweet malt flavor, very sugary and sticky; therefore the alcohol constitutes a pleasant note. The final is just sweet, without much else to say. Good for a sweet tooth like mine, but really not much complexity in this one.

Bottle. Pours a hazy pale amber color with a very small fast disappearing off-white head. Has a fruity woody and alcoholic dark fruit and caramel aroma. Sweetish malty caramel flavor with hints of dark fruit. Has a very sweet malty caramel finish with hints of dark fruit and some woody hints.

courtesy of fiulijn - clear amber-brown colour with absolutely no foam; oxidized and nutty aroma, quite whisky-like nose; no carbonation, oily and fairly sweet, sticky and very long nutty and slightly peachy aftertaste with warming alcohol notes

No head, clear cognac colour. Whisky nose, whisky malt, distilled if anything. Raisins, sweet, brandy, sultana’s, smoked malt in the finish. Syrupy, oily MF, alcoholwarming; A bit too sticky. That was to say something negative. OTOH, it is a rich, powerful brew. And it costs the earth, but I still recommend it.

Big, huge, massive thanks to SHIG for trucking this beauty across the pond for us Tampa geeks to lush over. I owe you one Shawn! Pours still clear copper without the slightest sign of a head. The aroma pushes up sweet dark fruitiness like figs, prunes and plums as well as caramel and some mild booziness. The taste is smooth as silk and sweet like nectar and coming across as a rich sweet dark fruit juice reduction of plums, pears and figs mixed with iced cider and a modest level of creamy caramel candy. This one is yummy sweet nectar goodness.

Cheers to Shig for the share. pours amber, no head. aroma and flavors, lots of dark fruit goodness here, sweet candi caramelized sugars, hints of floral hops hinting toward a blossom louthfeel. abv is subdued even at 13% this beer is going down smoothly. The caramel sugar reminds me of baked apples leaving a nice sirupy finish.

Thanks to SHIG for the share. Pours amber red like the other Xyauyu bottles, but had a bit more head. Nose is booze with spice, pepper, caramel, lots of malt, and some vinous fruit and character. Palate is very sweet and mouthfeel is almost syrupy, but this beer has so much depth and flavor to it. Very good.
