Am I seriously the first person to rate this? It was already listed and drank like a beer that has been brewed for centuries. Bottle from Alexander Wines, Coventry. Deep brilliant ruby with a fine, lacing cappuccino head. Black bread aroma, figs, honey, sticky Chinese sauces, hints of battered sausage on vinegared newspaper..but incredibly, some hay and shrubby hop through the stickiness. Finely sieved, chocolatey taste with juicy prune, Twiglet, slightly lactic and smoked hay notes. Swirl of brine from an old tin can. Seductively German, sweet, serious stuff.
