Tap at Billies. Clear light mahogany. Caramel, light oxidized malts, red apple, toffee, alcohol, dried fruits. Quite sweet, medium bitter. Boozy over medium bodied. Not my thing.

Pours a clear dark ruby body and a creamy beige head with little retention. Aroma's: sweetish, malts, caramel/fudge, red fruit. Retronasal: caramel malts, red fruit, light bitter, light spices. Flavour is above moderate sweet and light bitter. Alcohol is warming but not too hot. Above medium bodied. Bitterness increases. Very nice, Menno still has it!
