Bottle. Amber color. Malt and apple in the shy aroma. Malty sweet flavor with apple, a hint of oak, aceton. Alcoholic. Disappointing.

Almost clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth malts, light cream and a whisper of wood. Mild barrel vanilla balances well with bitterish rich calvados and it's encompamying ripe apple. Smooth finish. Nicely joined up and drinkable. Good now, good for about 5 years.
