Bottle, 7.2%. A beautiful, dark reddish brown beer, a head is medium and beige. Aroma has dried apricots, caramel in the body. Taste has grain in the body with some roastiness and caramel, nicely strong and herbal bitterness, even hint of liquorice in the end. Medium bodied. This is very good beer and somehow cheeky enough.
