This is heavy stuff! Brown reddish color with long standing off white head. Aroma is slight sour with a full sweetness. The feeling in the mouth is heavy very sweet with notes of caramel and quite a lot of alcohol.

This delicious beer pours an attractive deep amber colour with a medium sized vanilla head. IT has an initial sweet malted taste which finishes softly with caramel undertones.
