From a 33 cl bottle it is a clear very pale golden color with a thin head. The aroma faint malty and the taste is bitter with no distinguishable flavor just a lingering bitterness

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Kenny. Pours rich ruby-brown with a foamy, tan head. The aroma holds aged caramel, leathery berries, hints of butterscotch. Medium sweet flavour with meaty, well toasted malts, some oxidation, lightly tangy dried berries, dates. Medium to full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish with further berry tang, some toasted caramel, earthy bitterness. Has aged OK.
