(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a loose, medium-sized and off-white foamy head. Mildly bready malty aroma with present notes of caramel, shades of cacao and a whiff of herbal hops far in the background. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a slightly crisp carbonation. Bready cara-malty base with hints of chocolate, backed by a tinge of herbal hoppy spice; sweet-bitter, moderately lasting and quite balanced finish. Decent. 08.V.16
