Tap at Salon piva. Clear golden to amber colour. Rich sweet caramelly aroma and flavour. Strength apparent but not disturbingly so. Dried fruits. Rather straightforward but intense and good.

Keg at Craft Clerko, 12/05/14. Lightly hazed dark marmalade orange/amber with a moderate light beige covering that dissipates to a pond. Nose is perfumed, tangy orange, rose hip, straw, caramel notes. Taste comprises caramel, bubblegum, zippy citrics, candied orange peel, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light bitter elements in a sweetish conlcusion. Hmmm... not sure this delivers what I expect from a BDG. It’s drinkable enough I guess but a little too sweet all the way through and doesn’t execute a crisp refreshing finale.
