Rocky off white head left a spotty cover on a reddish brown body. Sweet, malt & toffee aroma. Medium bodied smooth & dry on the back. Toffee, caramel, malt & aniseed tastes with a tangy fruity finish. Nice one.

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter festival i Burton-Upon-Trent. Dyp rødbrun. Luftig skumring. Forsiktig fruktaroma. Smaken svisker. Litt tynn. Tilløp til bitterhet i avslutninga.
