12 ounce bottle thanks to hershiser2! 9/1/22. Hazy amber, medium tan head average retention. Aroma of toffee, vanilla, raisin. Taste is toffee, raisin, vanilla, stone fruit, booze, piney hops. Full bodied, boozy, strong bitterness. A bit of a wreck, but in a good way. Nice beer.

12oz can. Poured a clear golden color, nice carbonation, medium sized off-white head. Aroma was a pleasant malty character, with a nice light bready character, slightly earthy hops. Sweet, but not too sweet. Really easy to drink.

(Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 22 May 2022) Amber colour with frothy, tan head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, toffee, citrus and pine needles. Fruity, malty taste with notes of apricots, citrus, caramel, pine needles and a balanced citric/piney bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced, going in the English ESB direction. Nice one.
