Copper color. Not much going on. There is lightly roasted grain. Some sweetness from malt. Very little yeast or any other elements that stand out. Lightly sweet.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is dominated by over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and over ripe fruits. Much to my surprise the body is light.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of ditmier. Pours a cloudy amber with a small yellowish head. Caramel and sweet woody accents in the nose - combined with some yeasty esters. Medium body, caramel and overripe fruit with some phenols. Perhaps a little oxidized. The finish actually has some hops - and booze. 230211

Bottle with a story. Thanks Ditmier for the wedding brew. Pours out a amber topped with a sand head. Aroma was of spice and pit fruit with a nice hop. Tast was of sweetness and fruit. Thanks

22oz bottle shared by CaptainCougar, thanks! Toffee brown-orange color. Very sweet taste, light toffee notes. Sweet sugary, pungent aroma. A little subdued carbonation-wise, but the solid hop bill rescues it. Strength is pretty apparent.
