De Molen, Tsarina Esra Reserva

Tar pour, very black. Smoked elements in the nose. Taste was sweet, much like a dark fortified wine perhaps. A very pronounced vinous character that bordered and the sharp/acidic. The bottle says barrel aged - surely in a red wine or port barrel? Very similar to Sam Smith's Taddy porter. No booze detectable, and bitterness subdued despite a high IBU. Apologies for the toilet gimmick, having a barren spell with ideas at the moment.... Purchased from the frankly amazing Bierkoning during a super quick job I had in Amsterdam last year.
