440ml can(!). Deep amber with a beige head that fades to a coat in a La Trappe glass. Aroma of dried fruit, some dough, spices, a hint of chocolate. Alcohol is not obvious.Full bodied, moderate carbonation. Only fairly sweet for this sort of thing with lots of dried fruit, some dark sugars and chocolate. There's firmish bitterness with spices and orange peel to clean things up at the end. Not as complex as some, but tasty, convincing and with a lightness of touch (like St B 12) that means the beer remains just a fun drink. Very impressive.

On tap at the Lumsden. Pours dark ruby brown. Molasses, plum, raisins, fig, orange peel, caramel, little burnt toast, sweet dried apricot, touch of clove spice, a little booze. Nice slick body. Really bloody good.
