Jun 24, 2009 Stupendouosly high head, deep yellow & dense, over foxy amber beer. Bready malts at first, soon joined by fruity touches, and lots of yeast notes. Bitterish, hoppy overlying flavour over caramelly malts, ambrée , etc., bit of dry wood notes. Good balance; retronasal parsley aroma. Warming up, finish gives banana ester. Well-bodied for its strength; certain grist slickness, nearly sticky. Well-behaved, well-bodied beer, which might benefit, IMO, from a more outspoken direction. Then again, with such a name - outspoken politicians are in the opposition...
