Thanks to Yesper, JK, hellomynameis. The beer was cloudy brown with a moderate amount of off-white head. In the aroma I got sour barnyard, fruit, spices, along with some bubble gum. The flavor contained those elements, but was mostly dominated by malt. The beer was too carbonated.

Bottle from Hellomynameis. Huge thanks to Zac for this rare gem. Pours opaque mahogany with a two finger tan head. The nose is malty, apricot, plum and a hint of alcohol. The flavor is quite the same, with all influences blending beautifully. Ther’s also a touch of sour ale, almost vinegar like, but it wasn’t bad at all. Added complexity. The finish is dry tannic and clean.

[Vintage 1998, Coutesy of yesper - a huge thank for sharing this!] Mudy brown with floaties and a medium off white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and ripe fruits. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, caramel, prunes and plums. Ends sweet with warming alcohol.

Courtesy of Yespr. Hazy, light mahogany with a creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, notes of roasted malt and dark fruits. The flavour has sweetness, notes of candy sugar, roasted malt, hints of honey and coffee, plum, raisin and a little touch of alcohol. It was very nice to get the chance to taste it!

Botella. Cloudy brown colour. Quite fizzy head, which disappears right away. Sweet and yeasty prune malty aroma. The flavour is sweet with dark fruits, yeast, dark malts and a little spce. Huge thanks to yespr.
