Flaske 0,33l. Gift from Fin, Loz & Isobel. Thanks a lot! Drukket hjemme 17 Okt 13. Aprikosfarget. Lavt skum som blir nesten helt borte. Litt uklar. Behagelig fruktaroma. Smaken er syrlig frukt med innslag av mandler. Smaken holder seg lenge. Litt bunnfall - og veldig uklar siste kvelling.

Bottle thanks to Josh. It pours deep brown with a small off-white head. The nose is earthy, toast, cola, brown sugar, ash and light smoke. The taste is caramel, cola, earth, toast, soft roast and brown bread with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Straight-forward stout action.
