Draft at Grote Dorst. It pours clear golden - blonde with a bubbly white head. The aroma is tangy fruity whisky character, boozey warmth, raisin, sultana, fruit cake, whisky fudge, toffee, toasty brown sugars, light funk and sweat. The taste is sweeter upfront than expected, whisky is right up there, raisin, sultana, toffee, fruit cake, creme brulé, custard, then there is a slap of acidity, puckering, lemon - lime, sherbet, white wine, gooseberry, oily and slick finale. Medium body and slick mouth feel. Love the combo here. I'm impressed it works.
