12oz bottle 02, thanks riversideak. Pours a still deep walnut brown. Nose is full of sherry port, boiled with brown sugar, prune and leather. Whoa! This bitch is rough smelling. Viscous and syrupy. Wow, deep rich boozy prune, brown sugar, raisin juice and tobacco. It reminds me of the first time I had red man leaf chew. Thanks for the chance to try this Alex.

Bottled - vintage 2003. A black beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, wood, sherry, and berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, alcohol, and over ripe fruits, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks CaptainCougar for coming to Denmark and sharing this.
