Dark amber colour and small beige head. Toffee, barley in the nose. Full-bodied. Malty, toffee, akcohol, hops. Smooth and very warming. Probably ageing improves this.

Murky orange colour and small white head. Perfumic citrus fruity aroma. Medium-bodied. Citrus, dank, fruityness in the flavour. Salvo hop extract maybe brings some hopburn like notes.
