(Bottle 50 cl) 5.5% ABV in my version. Neat amber coloured beer with a small, dense head. Very soft and smooth with notes of lightly sweet caramel and a wee touch of smoke. 200500

Medium head upon pouring with a full body.Quite hoppy with a pleasant flowery aftertaste.For some reason it reminded me of several Shepherd Neame brews.

Poured from the bottle, a light brown with a medium frothy head which disappeared. A very malty aroma, slightly spicy. A fruity malty taste, with a good bitterness in the mouth.

A red beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit especially peach as well as yeast. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of peach and a dry hoppy end.

Bottled. Amber, not much head. Toffee- and perfume-aroma. Rather sweet with some chocolate and toffee and fine bitterness.

Bottled. Amber colour. Aroma of burnt sugar. Sweet malty flavour, with maybe a bit too much butterscotch. Also a little harsh and one dimensional.
