From a 75 cl bottle shared at home. Pours a cloudy cola brown with a thick but quickly receding tan head. Aroma of dark fruits. Flavors of caramel, plums, dark cherries and butterscotch,. Smooth, slightly boozy finish.

Cloudy dark brown beer. Frothy off white head. Soft frothy head. Light cocoa and raspberry and other red fruits. Light softish palate. Beer has the same flavours as the head adding some cherry. Light and frothy - hides the alcohol very well.
