Quite good, dense & fine yellowish head, very stable over finely carbonated deeper orange-amber beer. Bit caramelly, fresh green leaves, resiny hops. Seem to get celeri. Bitter, vegetable, even metallic, but with a caramelly, cake-bottom underbuild. Good balance, anyway. Again something soupy-celeri. Waming up, coriander??? Fresh, even greenmalt retronasal. Medium bodied, quite slick; velvety-creamy MF from the head. Far from bad, but not really great.

Aroma has nice and sweet bourbon aromas with vanilla. Also licorice. Flavour has salty licorice, mild rubbery tones, bourbon, vanilla and woody tones. A bit too salty but nice anyway.
