Draught@SBWF2007. Now this was what it probably should be. Ambery reddish colour with small beige head. Aroma is vanilla, hops, sweet caramel malts and alcohol in an excellent balance. Flavour is sweet malts, alcohol, madeirawine some nectary and wooden notes also. Mild chocolateish notes in the finish. Really good. 8 4 8 4 16.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Hazy amber. Intense graefruit aroma. Sweet, peachy and very malty with soft mouthfeel. Both very hop aromatic and malt accented. Gentle, yet powerful. Well balanced, and really enjoyable!
