Half-pint, cask ale at Ale Wagon. Shared with Finn. Bright golden body, bubbles to the rim, spotty lacing. Mid-dry fruity aroma. Moderate taste profile of bread and some lemony hints. Short ending of mid-sweet fruits. Average stuff. (10.02.2019).

Thanks to jjsint for sharing with Finn and me. On keg at Ale Wagon. A beige head over a deep rosewood body. Bubbly ring to the rim. Dark malty nose, semi-sweet. Rather powerful taste of toffee, chocolate and almond. Woody. Smooth,, mid-sweet malt-driven end. Well bodied. A nice one. (10.02.2019).

Delt med Rune i hyggelig samvær med jjsint. Mørk gyldenbrun. Filmskum. Lett ferskenaroma. Smaken karamell. Lite annet.
