330ml bottle. Cloudy, chestnut colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Toasty, minimally nutty, dark malty, herbal and spicy, minimally fishy and mineral aroma, hints of seashell, earthy herbs, seaweed, nutmeg, a touch of ginger, cinnamon, caramel malty undertones. Taste is toasty, minimally nutty, dark malty, slightly herbal, spicy and mineral, hints of seashells, earthy herbs, seaweed, a touch of ginger, nutmeg, some caramel in the background. Creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation. Sadly not the most felicitous use of spices here: produces a rather mineral, even fishy effect, not sure if due to the composition and/or quality of adjuncts - bummer!
