I was a little worried about this one when I got it in a trade from HeRftYDrF. The cork had lifted a bit and it was leaking slowly. I wanted to save this beer for a bit but I decided that it was a "drink now" beer. That being said it probably could have lasted for a few months. As I took off the wire cage that cork popped off with ease. It had a beautiful amber-caramel colour. The aroma was of sour cherries, wood, balsamic vinegar and malt. The flavour was filled with sour cherries, vinegar, wood and earth notes. Large body, high carbonation, creamy and smooth mouthfeel, quite complex. Finished very smooth, long and amazing. Thank you so much for the beer Andre, you are the king of traders.

Oct 12, 2008 37.5 cL bottle in a fantastic vertical of Still Nacht beers at Kulminator together with Ask, Jes, Jens and Rasmus - cheers guys! We actually started out with the special. Pours beautiful deep amber and with a nice offwhite head. Aroma is fruity and cherry, extremely smooth and inviting with a mild whiff of caramel malt beneath. Smooth phenolic and cherry flavoured, yet so perfectly balanced and unbeliving "alive" after so many years. Complex wineous smooth finish - just fantastic!

Sep 22, 2008 Bottle shared by Nelson at the Cleveland tasting. Pour is coppery rust with not much head. Aroma is yeasty and earthy...smells like a cellar. Flavor is subtle and musty.Dont get any sourness at all, but maybe it is me. I think this bottle was past its prime.

Sep 15, 2008 1980 version, tasted @ Kulminator, september 9th 2006. Aroma and flavor have porto, cherry juice and a very soft malt character. Has lost all its carbon, but not its bite. Caramel, lemon and cherry in the flavor. The alcohol remains totally unnoticed. Absolutely great beer.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle from 1980 @ Kulminator. Read brown with huge beige creamy head. Sour aroma with notes of wood, sour berries, roasted malt and vinegar. Sour flavor with berries, wood, barnyard and malt. Ends sour. Fantastic carbonated for such an old beer. Lovely!
