This noble winter beer is brown in colour with flaming red highlights. Its taste is delicately sweet and liquor-like with a hint of burnt caramel coming from the malt and a prolonged boiling time. It is a very bitter beer with aromas of hops and alcohol, and flavours reminiscent of red fruit brought by the English-type yeast we use to ferment it. The aftertaste is accentuated by the wonderful flavour of hops.

Pours dark brown, clear. Scent is aged, even though the beer is fresh. Complex caramel , old-ale like rather than aged as in oxidated. Taste is sharp, sweet, complex, caramelly sweetness. Mild bitterness that does linger. Medium boozyness. Works quite well.
