UPDATED: APR 3, 2020 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 5 Oct 2019) Reddish brown colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, burnt rubber, black-currant and a slight acidity. Malty taste with notes of caramel, black-currant, citrus, dried apricots, raisins and a balanced earthy bitterness. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Complex and really tastye old ale. Excellent beer.

UPDATED: FEB 16, 2019 2014 cellared for 5 years at home. Thin creamy tan head left a spotty cover on a dark brown, slowly carbonating body. Malt, demerara red wine, wood & hints of coffee in the aroma. Medium to full bodied, with a very soft feel & a velvety finish. Dark chocolate, wood, dark spirits, brown sugar, malt, port, sherry & red wine tastes with sweet jammy finish. A very complex beer & I'm impressed by the 5 years of aging this bottle.
