Apperance: A brown beer, a slight red haze, a very small beige head, no lacing but some curtains. (3) Aroma: A sweet smell, dried fruits, raisins, a sherry note, citric notes, lemon juice, some yeast. An earthy hint in the background. (4) Taste: A sour note, more like vinegar, some yeast, a bitter end is metallic/alkaline. The upfront sweetness is like dried apples. Somewhat uneven and an unidentified not entirely pleasant tinge. (2.5) Palate: Extremely low carbonation, somewhat alcoholic and oily. (2.5) Overall: I have a suspicion that this bottle was not prime, maybe not tightly sealed. A Dugges' should be better. (2.5)
