Bottle bought in Dover. Great smooth mild beginning. Roasted grain, caramel. Dry bitter, roast but a bit too dry. I miss the expected Ale yeast in the aftertaste. Roast and dry grain there, more a good dry Alt. Nice though. --- Beer merged from original tick of Imperium on 13 May 2023 at 20:12 - Score: 6. Original review text: Bottle bought in Dover.
