355ml bottle. Cloudy, dark amber to brown colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Caramel malty aroma with a nuttily touch, fruity hoppy overtones with hints of orange. Taste is dry, nuttily malty, a touch of caramel and toffee, moderately bitter hoppy counterweight, a weak zesty touch of orange.

Dark amber with a modest beige head that doesn’t last all that well. 3- Aroma of toffee, bitter oranges, some gingerbread, pine. Full bodied and malty but not all that sweet. Toffee, some dried fruit, oranges, somewhat medicinal spices. Bitterness creeps up a bit. Pleasant and hearty drop.

Bottled. Amber colour with a pale beige head. Aroma is caramel, some mild biscuity notes as well as some toffee, toast and mild floral and hebral hoppiness to it. Flavour is rather similar, with the biscuity malts giving it a rather crisp bite. Nice floral/grassy/herbal aftertaste.

Pours a dark slightly cloudy copper from a bottle, aroma of creme brulee, bitter herbs, flavor somewhat medicinal, like cherry cough syrup without the cherry. Bitterness lingers quite a long time, slightly off-putting. Okay beer.
