BOTTLE 33 CL. Hazy deep red, beige head. Rich malty nose, toffee, milky caramel, fruit pie, jam, dried apricots. Some clovy spice and almost no alcohol. Some Bourbon? Similar, though less sophisticated taste - rich fruity and jammy, with just the right amount of alcoholic heat and spice, some hop bitterness. Very good.
