Can thanks to Wolf. A light haze on this amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Airy malts, mild caramel and very mild and thin malt cream. Tastes very aged. Mild fruity malts on the back end. A most curious affair. If you gave this to me blind and, told me it was a relic from the 1970s, I would believe you whilst remarking that the carbonation was very well preserved indeed! I guess the major fault with this brew is that many of the said 70s relics (and even earlier) have a richer flavour profile than this.

Burk från SB. Stor strong ale eller lätt bw. Väldigt smooth och lättdrucken med karamell, toffee och söt torkad frukt som päron och fikon. Lätt beska med en lätt bränd ton balanserar. God men inte jättekomplex
