0.75l bottle thanks to Lore. Opaque orange body with basically no head. Smoky aroma and taste with notes of orange zest, caramel, raisins and dark sugar. A tiny bit of booze show up, but nothing harsh. Nice one.

opalescent dark amber to copper colour, minimal ecru lacing; aroma of smokey-peaty, apple peel, some raisins and leather notes; taste is quite the same; not that bad, but I somehow expected much more...
