Bottle 500ml. Dark amber colour with little white head. Aromas of the english hops and some fruitiness. The flavor is hops, toasted malt and nuts and some toffee that is soon overtaken by hoppy bitterness.

The aroma is sweet and malty. The color is amber and no head. The flavor is sweet and malty with nutty notes. A very average bitter.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Hazy amber, limited slightly creamy head. Somewhat fruity but not really much aroma. A touch of hops and nothing else really. Extreme pressure in the bottle. 030205
