Cloudy dark amber, small light beige head. Aroma has caramel, yeast, mild spice, baking yeast. Yeasty, caramely flavour, bready with faint hints of wood. But bourbon barrel chips? Label promises weak (sic!) notes of coffee, choc and cherry too, but I cannot detect any of these either. Overall ok drinkable, but no real anarchy.
