Relax, sit back and think chocolate, molasses, sweet nutty and malty flavours. This is liquid copper with a body to die for, topped off with a rich and creamy white head. Take in the wonderful complexity of flavours and the elegance of a citrus lift before the hops leave a lingering and dry bitterness. Enjoy.
