Gravicask, 1/3 pint, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Misty orange coloured body, filmy layer, dotted spots on the glass. Moderate caramel-fruity aromas, dry. Rounded taste profile of caramel malts, bread, forest fruit, and a spicy twist. Ends overly sweet. Not easy to drink. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter i Burton-Upon-Trent. Mørk gylden. Uklar. Søt saftaroma. Smaken tungt fruktig. Rugen slår inn. Ble veldig søt.

Bottle from a colleague. Hazy dark russet brown with thin beige head. Strong sweetish and tastes of melted butter. Some malty fruit. little bit of hop on the finish. Melted butter puts me off. Eeek. Had to pour it away.
