Bottle from Cornelius.Murky chestnut body with a thin beige head. Nice lacing. Aroma of wood, earth, orange and toffee. Flavour of butterscotch, warming spices, biscuit and salted caramel. Bitter finish of spruce and grass. Medium body with a chewy mouthfeel. A great beer for Christmas (I’ll have to buy another one).
