from beerplanet.eu clear dark amber, large smooth offwhite to yellow head. Aroma of fresh raisins, dark fruits, flowers, caramel, anise or licorice, faint metallic herbal note. Quite complex, mild and well blended. nice. flavor is similar to the aroma. Add a little yeasty sourness, some malts and what seems to be almost a woody note. Very drinkable, quite smooth palate, great beer.
