A perfect friend to close the eyes, a rather strong ale, warm alcool, well integrated, malty, bready, notes of toffee and honey, a wind of autumn in your cup, classical hop and subtle bitterness, 21.08.20, at Epalinges.

330ml bottle from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. 2021 vintage. Poured a hazy medium amber with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, honey, vanilla. The flavour is moderate sweet,, light bitter, with a rich, slightly oily, herbal, light spicy, vanilla palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Reminds me of a sweet Japanese red bean desert.
