Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours hazy darkish straw with amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with touches of cake and hints of roast. Bitter, hoppy onset, quickly giving way to sweet notes og malt, caramel, and cloves. Sugary and lozengelike aftertaste with touches of yeast. Agreeable.
