(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a dense medium-sized tanned foamy head. English malt aroma with hints of caramel, liquorice and a mildly berry-fruity touch, accompanied by spicy notes of anise. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter, well-bodied with a modest carbonation. Cara-malty taste with a rather dry mouthfeel, spicy notes of anise and liquorice; sweet-bitter, malt-accented finish. 09.III.12
