3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
75 cl bottle @ home, no BBE info
Sweet and malty aroma with lots of caramel, some american hops, fruits and berries. Flavour has harsh malt, caramel, some vanilla, fruits, berries and distant oaky notes. Dry finish with stronger oak aromas. Warming alcohol in throat, otherwise the 11% is very well hidden. Just too American ( = sweet).
