Jag är i grunden skatisk till brittisk öl över 5%. Kopparfärgad, gräddigt skum. Stor alkoholdoft med tvåliga, blommiga och fruktiga aromer. Drag av belgisk trippel. Alkoholen slår igenom väldigt mycket även i smaken. När man vant sig vid det kommer en massa smaker fram. Fruktkompott, estriga fenoler som jag förknippar med belgisk öl, apelsinskal och apelsinsaft, jäst, liten men distinkt beska, måttlig sötma. Skulle nog fåttt stå ett par år men ändå helt okej. Svår att betygsätta.
