Bottle shared at Koelschrinker's tasting. Malty neutral beginning. Hints of wood in the back, not too intense. Moderate malty body, round and smooth but not too deep. Rich but I miss the barrel a bit. Smooth, mainstream, sad!

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle, best before May 2018. Clear, brownish amber with a frothy, off-white head. Sweetish-malty aroma of caramel, honey, vanilla and some bourbon. Very sweet, malty taste of honey, caramel, vanilla and bourbon, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly warming finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not bad!
