Medium offwhite head. Clear deep reddish amber body. Wooden resiny fruity aroma with spicy notes. Dry dusty resiny citric taste with spicy notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish mouthfeel. Dryish resiny wooden aftertaste with orangey spicy notes. Very resiny, but fresh and clean. Nice. (0.4l draft at brewpub. Name is wrong, though: Trotskij is the Norwegian transliteration of the name. In English it should be Trotskiy or Trotsky.)
