Jul 7, 2008 Orange-copper in colour with a long lasting beige head, good retention, excellent lacing. The aroma is of caramel malts, bread, cookies, moderate sweetness, some light citrus. The flavour is of sweet caramel malts first, some bread dough, gingerbread, some minor alcohol. Sweet and smooth mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes lingering, sweet with a nice warming effect.
1 and a half years has rounded this one out very well. This one is a keeper for sure.
