Notater fra Mi2 juleavslutning, hvor vi alle møtte feststemte og med relativt uthvilt lever. Anført av seremonimester Melberg startet vi som vanlig med fatølene: klar, mørk kastanjefarge med fint skum som varer. Lett tilbakelent aroma men desto mer framoverlent smak med lynghonning, sjokolade, nøtter og mørke bær i en deilig maltkropp.
