Bottle. Poured hazy brown color with an large fizzy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet tart citrus aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet fruity flavor with a light sweet finish of moderate duration.

Pours a dark brown with ruby hues and a firm tan head. the aroma has notes of caramel, orange, ldark fruit, and some spiciness. The flavor is slight caramelly with spices, orange, dark fruit, and a mild astringent finish.

Bottle from Uto. A gentle pour left me waiting a few minutes for the montrous head to settle. Eventually ended up with rootbeer? Dark mahogany brune with a small off white head. Metallic nose of sultana, brown sugar and rum. Taste of a salty red wine with notes of walnut, wheat, rye and raisin. Brown sugar sweetens things up. Lovely nut finish. A proper belly-warmer.

Bottle. I liked the blonde better. This was a little sweet, with some more acidic characters. Some light sweet caramel, and some slightly sharp acidity in the finish. Soft carbonation.
