Bottle, 75cl corked, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, golden beer topped by an off-white, finger-thick head leaving lacings. Spiced, caramel-malty nose with ripe plums and some phenolic notes. Fruity and spiced flavor with some caramel and an appropriate bitterness. Also a strange herbal touch lasting all the way. Full-bodied and slightly sourish. Not very interesting, but a decent beer indeed. 090822
