Great label! I’m going to drink this cool as well as mulled per the guy at the store who sold this to my buddy somewhere out of London.
Pours a hazy reddish brown, a decent amount of sediment, good spotty lacing. Drinking it at a cool temperature: Aroma: Gueuze, sour, tons of yeast, sour cherry, this is no barley wine... piney hops, licorice. Taste: More of the same, medicinal herbs, burnt sugar, phenols, rotting apricot.. this is barely beer.
Mulled: Smells like hot, spoiled sweetened apple juice. Taste: Mulling this does not help it but it does dull the flavour. More malts and some caramel but still better cold by a long shot.

Aug 18, 2009 Bottle (275ml) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o HogTownHarry. Pours a murky, oily looking, dark orange-brown with no head. Aroma of caramel malt, toffee, nuts, dark fruit and alcohol. Flavour follows the aroma but is a bit astringent and quite boozy. Full bodied, slightly oily mouthfeel. Not bad, interesting.
