Bottle at share. Cloudy brown pour, wispy off-white head. Aroma is pit fruit, malty, mildly sour. Taste brings some oud bruin notes, malty, tart, prunes. Balanced.

Finally cracked my Bottleworks 15 today. Looking forward to it! Poured from 750mL corked & caged bottle into a tulip.

Appearance: rich & cloudy brown hue with a finger of creamy light-brown foam atop. Quite attractive!

Smell: big, rich malt aroma with a good dark fruitiness of raisin and date plus a dash of chocolate. Wonderful!

Taste: malty with those same dark, dusty fruit flavors, plus a sourness up front which subsides as the sweetness re-asserts itself. i love it!

Mouthfeel: medium body with a moderate carbonation and a decent creaminess. Not too bad.

Overall: this is a damn fine beer. The flavors are a bit strong to drink it for a whole session, but overall very good.

Smelled delicious, but was definitely starting to become infected as it had a very present tartness.
