330ml bottle. Clear, dark golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Spicy aroma with lots of clove and a touch of aniseed. Taste is slightly sweet malty, notes of clove, a touch of nutmeg, aniseed and cinnamon; slightly dry finish. Not overspiced but onesided due to clove predominance.
