500ml bottle at home, part of a three pack of special releases. Pours a deep amber almost light brown. Large pillowy, almost nitro-like, thick and creamy. Nose is delicate brown sugar, spice, lemon rind, cardamom. Flavour is also delicate brown sugar, brown bread, sweet malt, spice, banana, some candy. The surprise is with those flavours that this is not one bit cloying, the soft and creamy mouthfeel are top notch. Superb.
