Not just a big beer a Giant! Caramel, sweet toffee, orange, sweet malts, lemon, figs, plums, cherries, pine. A sweet malt profile leads to bitter finish. Lovely stuff. Dangerously easy to drink for an 11%er.

Bottled at Backen, Linköping. Almost clear mahogany colour, rich head. Caramelly nose with notes of black currant. Sweet with full to massive body and rounded mouthfeel. Raisins and dark bread. Warming finish. Harmonious and rich fireside beer.
