Bottle from a trade with Grumbo, thanks! Aroma is soft roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, hint of smoke, bit earthy, touch of fruits with some fishy notes of oysters. Flavour is moderate sweet and slightly salty with some bitterness in the finish. Body is light to medium. Curious flavour, not a beer I’d like to drink a keg of, but not bad at all.
