Flaska från SB. Klar mörkt bärnstensfärgad vätska med lågt krämigt skum. Doft och smak av nötter, säd, mjöligt bröd, pepprig tåg, gräs och distinkt maskrosbeska. Välgjord klassisk best bitter. Gott

Tap@BA Bellmansgatan Sthlm. Mörkt bärnstensfärgad vätska med fingerhögt äggskalsfärgat skum. Brödig arom med lätt blommig antydan. Maltig i smaken med skjuts av aska. Mjuk och gräddig munkänsla. Obefintlig eftersmak.
