It had been a few years since I had properly had this one. Bought a 12 pack and shared them over New Years Eve. Copper color, small off-white head. Just about how I remember it. Aroma was a bit spicier than I recall, more peppery, bigger caramel than I recall. Alcohol punches you a bit, it's there, not hidden at all and you get all 6-7% right there. Caramel, peppery, some resin.

Pours a fairly dark copperamber, medium sized, stable near-white head. Scent is mild, crisp caramel maltyness, fairly mild on the hops though. Taste is full, bitter, crisp malty base (caramelly crystal malts) . Hoparoma is mild. Medium bitter finish of medium length. Very decent, easy going. nothing spectacular, but balanced and enjoyable.
