Intro: A 375ml bottle, bottled in September 2015, poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: Dark dark brown in colour with a one finger beige head that had good retention, and eventually settled to a ring around the glass, while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Sour, tart, ripe sweet cherries, berry skins, raisin, caramel, light roastiness, and a touch of whiskey.
Taste: Sour, tart, cherry, lemon juice, light roast, with notes of wood, whiskey, and funk.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: Found hidden in my cellar, despite the age, this is drinking pretty good with noticeable sour and tart cherries.
