This amber poured just that, a hazy amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Sweet to the nose, other scents include malt, a little ripe fruit and must. First swig was rather sweet. Flavours of sweeter malt, caramel, must, nuts, toast, minimal brown sugar and a little ripe fruit. Finish is toasted malt with a little hop bitterness thrown in.

Pours a nice amber. Taste is toasted biscuit with some medium syrup sweetness under, some almost.off flavour bitterness, with almost a touch of funk, which lingers. The overall balance is good, just the bitterness is a little too funky. Can from the brewery.
