Bottle 50 cl. Pours a beautiful, clear amber with an off-white head. Burned caramel, toffeeish and then the spicy notes of bog myrtle. Rich warming malty body, a strange underlying tartness - from the berries I guess. Probably was a good base Bock - spoiled by so called New nordic spices. What a pity. 251115
