Very clear. Dark orange-red. Low carbonation. Sweet malt in the aroma. On tasting, very subtle dryness. Mildly bitter. Aftertaste is very dry, with lingering effect. Very good beer!

Bright copper color. Yeasty, malty, somewhat fruity nose with a touch of chocolate and a hint of alcohol. Oily mouthfeel, touches of nuts in the body, finishes long with fruity hops. Fairly nice ale.

Intense roasted malt, fruit aroma. Amber, creamy vanilla head, long lasting lace. Malty, bitter, nutty flavour. Good mouthfeel, tongue tingle. Very good, a pleasant surprise!
