Dark copper colour with lacy head. Aroma and flavour have loads of sweet red fruits. Just a touch of floral hop dryness in the finish adds essential balance.

Keg at Taphouse Sesimbra. It pours lightly hazy copper with a medium off-white head. The aroma is all about the thyme, herbal, spicy, savoury, pizza and brown bread. The taste is dry, bitter, earth, toasty grain, cereal, brown bread, tannin, definite thyme character and light spice. Finish is dry with a touch of caramel. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit bizarre, but not without its charm.
