Bottled. An amber beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweetmalty with strong notes of caramel and toffee as well as a light touch of spices. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, toffee, and spices among them nutmeg. Thanks to fonefan and Brugmansia for sharing.

Bottle, thx to fonefan. An amber, clear beer with an off-white head. Biscuity malty aroma with a pleasant fruityness. Nice, but very gentle. Malty sweetness, in the flavor, quite biscuity, with fruityness and a decent bitterness. Biscuity, roasted finish. Medium body. A quite pleasant malty beer, but a bit too gentle. (080822)

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden amber/hazzlenut brown with a creamy tan head. Mild spiced and dry caramel malty, slight breadish too. Flavour is mild spiced to a medium dry breadish base flavour and light bitterness coming through. Light tobacco and mild spiced finish.
