Caramelised malt, bitter hops, and some dried fruit aroma. Taste is malty, toffee, kind of cocoa aroma, and nice bitterness.

It is okay, not the cleanest ferment, a bit dry yeasty or stale. Meh okay. Gollem amstelstraat

Interesting. Strange that it may be. But it reminds me of the toasted barley notes of a Korean green tea …
