Nice CDA. Pleasantly balanced overall, mellow roast, some orange peel, toasted pine, bit of cocoa. Somewhat tame but the balance is there and itโs well drinkable. Softly bitter linger in the finish.

440ml can. Hazy brown with a thin beige head. Aroma of dried fruits, caramel. Taste is quite sweet, dried fruits, caramel, some chocolatey nutty malts, light bitterness to finish. Almost flat, very little carbonation. Light-medium bodied.
Bit of a mixed bag here but it's fine.
