| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 3, 2006 16.9oz bottle. Pour is deep ruby with off-white hue that lingers. Nose is oaky, fruity, similar to a light red wine. Flavor is more oak, some sweet malts, and hints of flemish sour characteristics. I guess this is the oak. Finish is dark fruits. Not incedibly strong for the style, but has an enormous amount of character. Would like to taste the Old 5x and BPA separately someday. Solid Brew. SHIG (2032), Aviano, Italy
