Near clear amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. A smooth light malt base, a mild creamy sweetness, pleasant caramel and toffee that are flavoursome but thankfully, don't advance the sweetness beyond it already pleasant level. Lovely ripe white wine vibes, whisper of white port. The brandy barrel is the topping on an already bloody good cake. Fruity rich brandy goodness but, not at all heavy. Vanilla oak obvious on the back end along with a touch of quad like fruity esters. Tastes like Calvados in here as well, it ain't but, it tastes like it. Smooth light finish. Super duper brew. Pretty sure I have never tastes anything like this before and it drinks bloody easy.
