Hazy brown pour, small off white head. Aroma is quite woody, and and has a solid tangy tartness. Reminds me alot of a Flemish red, with some big barrel aging. Lots of wood, hints of vanilla and a strong scotch flavour at the end. Barrel isn’t in your face at the beginning, but I wasn’t expecting this tartness. The barrel really comes through in the finish and goes well with the fruity malts. Nice stuff.
