Big thanks to madmitch76 for sending this 0.33L bottle across the pond. It pours clear copper with almost no head. The aroma is thick syrupy rich chewy estery fruitiness with some sweet slick malts in there for a bit of variety. The taste is smooth rich mead like sweetness followed by loads of light and dark colored fruity estery goodness. To midway the rich sweet fruitiness is joined by a stave of earthiness and slick smooth malts. Wow, this has aged wonderfully.
