Bottle at Open Baladin. Beer list said 12%. Pours garnet with a few bubbles. Very fruity aroma.Very fruits de bois. Med body. Little carb. Flavor is lightly herby medicinal, but still fruits de bois. Sweet but not too strongly so. The fruit tends to cut the sugar. Amazingly there is no heat. Tho my brow begins to emit droplets. Brilliant beer.

BMan1113VR (6144) - Los Angeles, California, USA - JAN 14, 2011
2008 bottle. $20 375ml...not sure why I bought this, but there are a couple other Italian beers locally that are over $30, so I guess this isn’t a horrible price...wait, it is! Pours with a murky brown body and a very minimal (if any head). Some alcohol legs. Aromas of brandy, brown sugar, dark fruits, raisins, almonds, red wine, red licorice, earth and tobacco. Mellow alcohol. Flavors are super sweet, licorice, prunes and ripe plums. Tons of brown sugar. Raw turbinado sugar and raw hazelnuts. Fruity. Sweet, boozy and tasty, but not worth the price. Not remotely worth it (if it was half the price, then maybe). Syrupy. Light bubbles.

Hazy dark amber with a medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and overripe fruits. Flavor had roasted malt, caramel, overripe fruits and toffee. Finished sweet. Not bad for the style.

Ungstrup (22904) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - SEP 10, 2010
Bottled. A deep red beer with a huge lazing light brown head. The aroma has notes of phenols, malt, caramel, and a bit of fruit. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel, malt, fruit, and alcohol, leading to a dry, fruity, and alcoholic finish.
