Poured to an oversized wine glass.

A: The body is orange, being highly crystalline with almost no haziness. The head is white and minimal. Poured hard to create a 1 finger head but the retention is not great, as usual with barrel aged beers, and it quickly got a minimal head only existing to the sides of the glass.
S: The aroma is weirdly close to a white wine, having some floral and phenolic profiles with a great licquorice aroma, with a big sweet and alcoholic touch. In the end, it seems like it's a white port wine barrel. I'm 90% sure it was a red port wine but it's weird. Interesting to say the least.
T: The taste has a citric first profile, before turning to the floral aromas. In the end, the tart, alcohol heavy and grape-y feeling of the port wine is very much present.
M: Body is medium. Carbonation is very low. Alcohol is high, running at 9% ABV. The bitterness is low but the tartness is higher than expected.
O: This isn't as good as the Moscatel edition but it's quite interesting.
