Strong aroma of brett, oak, cherries, and roasted, slightly coffee-ish, chocolatey malt and bourbon notes. Sweet roasty flavor with some light woody sourness, lots of dark fruits, some pralines and barnyard. Full-bodied. Maybe slightly infected but very enjoyable. zvikar (431), Tel-Aviv, Israel

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 23, 2009 On draught at pre-Zythos bash, Alvinne, March 2009. Very dark. Lots of chewy fruit in the aroma and the flavour. Lovely licorice in the flavour too. Some bitter cocoa and subtle woody vinous notes. But the plummy fruit is in the driving seat. Alcohol is warming but not too boozy. Spectacular stuff. I was enjoying it so much I nearly forgot to make any notes.
