Commercial Description:
The complexity of this limited edition brew comes from the interplay between the roasted nutty undertones of Crystal, Chocolate and Black malts and the sweetness of orange blossom honey. Balance is achieved by the addition of Warrior and Tettnang hops. Ample body and smooth mouth feel enhance drinkabilty. Don't get stung and miss this one! 6.25% alcohol by volume.

Bottle. Dark brown color with a beige/light brown head. Smells of roasted and sweet malt, caramel, coffee, some fruit. The taste is sweet, roasted and malty with hints of coffee, sourness, hops, maybe some honey and tea!?. Medium bodied and a bit flat.

(Bottle) Pours very dark reddish brown. Roasted malt aroma with notes of grain, liquorice and coffee. Undertones of hops and fruits like apples and oranges. Hints of honey, sal ammoniac, brown sugar, dark syrup, glue, raisins, dew-ish grass, cheap red wine and maybe some caramel. Roasted and light salty flavour with tones of coffee, mild tar and liquorice. Fruity and hoppy undertones in the flavour as well. The honey tones are very light. Light to medium bitter with a light dry and tart roasted ending. Medium bodied. Better than expected.
