Small cream-coloured head over deep dark ruby beer. Rich, fruity, estery and boozy nose; wood lagered spirits, with a sweet, rich velvety aroma, even a bit musky. Ripe banana. Vinous flavour, rich, again fusely with both fruity and spicy esters. Faint cheesy notes, hot fermenting fruit. Finish has liquorice. Full bodied, chewy, oily, alcoholheat; fiery MF. Rich, as said. Most beery and classic of the three 2025 Escorts. Txs to Stef!
