Bottle, 22oz. Shared by meilby. A clear reddish brown beer with a small, firm beige head. Sweetish aroma with alcohol, dried fruits, some caramel, bread, pine cones and citrus zest. It's full-bodied, warming and with a nice carbonation. Dried fruits, caramel, bread notes, pine cones, citrus zest and a bit low bitterness. Lasting finish. I'd like a bit more bitterness in this one, but I'ts sure a fine one. A bit sweet too perhaps. 171111
