Malty aroma with some wort-like essence laced with brandy, dates and raisins. Flavor has some fresh baked brown elements to it with some brandy, raisins and dates. Silky smooth mouthfeel. High ABV is hidden well. A damn good Ale. ogivlado (3088), Zagreb, Croatia

Has aromas of hops and esters (plus a hint of soap) lots of floaty yeast particles and flavours of fruit cake and a winey woodiness like its been matured in a sherry butt. Aftertaste is soft and smooth with an alcoholic kick.
