3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Draught Small white head over orange, hazed beer. Sweet, oranges. Difficult to pinpoint sherry, but its fruitiness might well point into that direction. Sweet, meaty, liqueurish. Feels/tastes as if some syrup was used. Finish has a bit of walnut(syrup) in it. Very viscous, well-bodied, slick-syrupy feel. Walnutflavour keeps hanging around; warming. Interesting, but I’m not sure whether the fact that I cannot mark the sherry is a good, than well a lesser thing.

75cl bottle.
Dusty aroma of cellar, wood, sharp alcohol, sweet, fruity, port.
Sparkling, amberblond beer, offwhite head.
Starts fruity, loads off alcohol, wood, extreme sweetness.
Dusty aftertaste, and a lot of sweets.
Special, but a bit too sweet imo.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
taken from notes - 750 ml bottle at sloshfest 2012 - overly sweet beer. This one has notes of port and some forest fruit. The rest is taken away by all the sweetness and alcohol... Pity.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
750 ml caged and corked bottle. Served in a chalice, the beer pours an orange/amber color with about an inch and a half off-white head that stays around for a while. There’s also a good amount of lacing. Aroma is very sweet, it smells like sherry, dark fruit, honey, bready malt and some hay. It tastes like honey, white grapes, plums, orange peel, bready malt, peppery spice and some sherry. The sherry is much stronger in the aroma compared to how it tastes. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a bit creamy and is well carbonated (maybe a little too much). I think it’s a solid brew, but it’s pricey at $16.99 a bottle.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
