Hazy amber beer, little pale tan head. Nose of pepper and cardamon! Smooth palate with mild mild carbonation. Taste folllows the nose to a degree. The spices are somewhat subsumed by sweetish malt and a nice fruity - jammy tone. Touch of minty coolness. Semi dry finish. I was quite sure I wasn’t going to like this but the fruity tone ties everything together.

Bottle, 8.0%. Good spicy aroma, liquorice, salt, cardamom. Cloudy red amber colour. Small frothy off-white head. The flavour starts off sweet, then comes some liqourice, raw liquorice, a sour note, herbal notes, a bit medicinal. Rather interesting, but not necessarily good.
