Bottle [from local swap worldwide edition thanks to nimbleprop] @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Joes. Slightly unclear dark orange color, full sized off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly to an average sized head. Aroma is malts, hops, some sticky fruityness, fruity hops. Taste malts, sweetness, some fruityness, a slight hint of white wine, softly bitter coming through after the initial sweetish malts and overripe fruits. Decent body and carbonation.

750ml bottle pours a hazy, light brown with some creamy, white head. Nose is interesting, some wood shavings, some candy sugar, orange, some soap, some faint pine, dried orange peel. Flavor has candy sugar, orange, pine, malt, some white grape, a little toasted wood. Full bodied, bitter finish. Not a bad beer, but I was disappointed they didn’t take this further for the Illuminati members.
