Medium dense yellowish head, slightly irregular, fed by fine carbonation in yellow to old gold coloured beer. Quite alcoholic nose, dry spices, (too) discreet. Very warming, mildly sweet alcoholic taste, foxesapostrophe garlic, mandarine peel; dry liqueurish character; softly mellowing warming up, begetting raisiny notes. Sharp alcoholic MF. Very slick, near creamy texture, well-bodied. Out-of-the-ordinary BW, but not one to be left alone. Even a bit Belgian in character, and that is a compliment in my book. Thanks, Darren!
