Very nice brew. Pours a deep brownish red. Lots of aroms going on...yeast, malt, earth, wood, vanilla, even some fruit. Texture is damn near perfect. Flavor is deeply complex. Lots of dark fruit and wood, with just a touch of bitterness. Smooth and way too drinkable.

330mL bottle from Regional. Pours a deep red/orange with a dark off white head. Fizzed up like a Duvel! Aroma is quite fruity, some yeast and a lot of spice are there as well. Strong flavour, initially fruity. Fades to some spice, plums, chocolate and more I can’t decipher. Let’s just say it’s a highly complex flavour – and I love it! Highly palatable for a 9% ABV beer. Finish is long, chocolaty, fruity and dry. Very nice.

12 oz bottle. Poured a cloudy reddish brown color with a small off white head. Aroma was very complex. Notes of cherries, toffee, yeast, dark fruits and some caramel. Flavor was very fruity. Cherries and other dark fruits dominate the flavor. The finish was very dry. I really enjoyed this beer, compared to the Reserva. This was a lot more balanced it seemed, and a lot less balsamic.

Very good retention head is a tan colour beer has a misty red brown colour banana port wine plum clove malt and hop aromas as well as raisins flavour strong malt and dry at first alcohol taste plum clove banana strong so is raisin nice hop taste bitter sweetness of figs and spices tangyness in there gives the beer lift finish fruity dry light bitter tangy great.

33cl bottle, BBE 05/09. Very dark ruby, smallish beige head. The insanely deep aroma is earth and yeast, berries, cherries, slight soy sauce , liquorice toffee, coffee, roasted sugary malts and leather. Many rhymes in there. Same vinous tinge in the flavor, cherry, earth, lotsa liquorice. Dry and herbal finish, with a little tannic gooseberry. Great sourness, so complex but balanced. Medium bodied, sadly a bit over carbonated palate. Freakin fabulous beer anyway.
