Foxy-amber, hazy. Thick creamy-white head, stable. Alcohol, caramel and roasted malts in the nose. Also orange zest, coriander. Definitely honey. Citrusy notes in the taste, some honey, fading sugar impression. Retronasal bitterness, once more as orange zest & coriander, how delightfully original! OTH, there is another retronasal flavour in the finish as chocolate filled with exotic fruit, reminscent of barley-wines. Excellent palate - it is as if the beer begins with a watery texture, and gradually fills in. A good try - as in thirteen-in-dozen. Oh well.
