Dark amber in colour with a very full thick off-white head. Tons of very small bubbles rise from the bottom, just like a good bottle-conditioned ale. A decent smell, english hops and a full maltyness dominate the aroma. Medium bodied with a few flavours going on in the background, but none overpowering. Smokeyness, mustyness and definately malty. Some of the english hops come out in the aftertaste, as well. This one isn't offensive at all, and if anything isn't set in its ways enough. A good beer, but not great. I had this from a 50 cL bottle purchased at SoutTown Beverage in Rochester, New York.
