9th February 2013
Bruce’s Birthday Bash at the Craft Clerkenwell. Another super generous share by Bruce. Hazy gold beer, little white head. Palate is light and with mild fine carbonation. Semi dry and smooth, a nice palate! Slightly sour fruits, dried fruits. A little malt cream. Bitterish seltzer minerals. Mild red wine adds interest and brings red berry fruits. Finishes light with the same basic sourness. Interesting and tasty but nothing like as rich as the 2000.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle, bought @ Zombier, Spain.
Pours clear red with a small, frothy, off-white film head. Aroma is tart, oaky, fat maltiness, red currant, Pinot Noir grapes. Very low carbonation, fat and oily mouthfeel. Flavour is elegantly vinious, red currant, oak, grapes, red wine, sweet sugary, apples, plums, figs, caramel. Fantastic elegance and it really transcends that wine/beer barrier.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Corked bottle. Amber color, firm lasting head. Oak, peach and vanilla in the aroma. Nutmeg and bubblegum. Bubblegum, oak, vanilla and wine in the flavor. The barrel aging and vinous notes are quite obvious and help improve this beer considerably. Alcoholic but complex, a worthy #8888
