Can pour from the brewery. Clear amber with nice sparkle, decent head with good retention and webs of lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, honey and vanilla. Taste follows aroma with late Pilsner/European malt and bitterness. Smooth, frothy, creamy texture, soft carbonation and mostly bitter, malty finish. I have a soft spot for the golden stouts/porters. As you'd expect smells, and flavor begins, quite sweet but don't love malt backbone nor late bitterness. Not a fave.
