UPDATED: AUG 4, 2022 Miedziane, klarowne, z pianką jak na coli. Aromat to mix waniliny, rodzynek, karmelu i burbonu. W smaku słodkie, dochodzi melasa, irysy, dębina, i ziołowo-pestkowa, niska goryczka. Nisko-średnie co2, oleiste, rozgrzewające, fajnie skomponowane i ułożone.

Pours a cloudy brown-amber with a small beige head that pretty much disappears, leaving just a few bubbles around the edge. Notes of caramel, brown sugar, tea, oak, bourbon, leather, vanilla, and chocolate. Medium-plus bodied, with low carbonation and a sweet, malty, warming mouthfeel. Very good.
