Dark-brown ale. Nose of liquorice and sweets.In taste liquorice again, and a certain amount of lactic acid that doesn''t seem voluntary - sits not quite right on the balance. Very much carbonation. No new aftertaste, sweetness becomes a bit cloying. Not exactly their best try.

Orange colored. Hazy. Lively, soft and full bodied. Complex with some bitterness. Superb beer!
