Bottled 0.75 ltr (BB 01/2007). Hazy very dark nut brown color, good off-white head. Nose has some sour notes, dark fruits and hazelnut. Sticky mouthfeel, sugary sweetness - thanks to added sugar. Flavor has some spices, nuts (maybe from chocolate malts) and plums. Warming and full. Propably evolves with time.
