From old tasting notes. Clear amber orange liquid with a creamy beige head. Spicy mal/hop aroma is slightly complex. Semisweet toasted malt palate that becomes drier as it progresses toward the finish. Bitter aftertaste of medium duration. Well rounded and full bodied.

Gift from the parents so thought I’d better give it a go. Very sweet aroma - floral, berries, caramel. Dark Amber. Thin but bubbly off-white head. Sweet, with a bitter kick. As per the aroma, berries and caramel, with added quinine. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Astringent finish. It’s OK. Drops points for the minging bitter finish.

Bottle, 0.5l. Pours cloudy copper body with small slightly off-white head. Smell is malty sweet, herbal with lots of caramel and toffee. Medium body, softly carbonated. Slightly creamy texture. Pleasantly bitter with subtle malty sweetness. Aroma of yeast, malts, caramel and toffee. Herbal, floral. Touch of honey. Traces of metal on the tongue during the finish. Finish itself is a bit dry. Overall, good. Nothing exceptional, but good nonetheless.
