bottle at home ... crystal dark amber .... no head ... sweet resiny fruit nose ... rich syrupy figs and honey ... little toffee ... little caramel sugers ... quite sweet ... alcohol definitly present... but decent enough

Bottle. Pours deep, clear orange with a white head which disappears very quickly to nothing. Light honey nose. Malty sweetness on thetongue with a pleasant honey after. Alcohol soldering it all together. Good enough.

Bottle 500ml. @ home.

Clear light to medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting to diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, dusty, fruity, spicy notes. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, caramel - toffee notes, plastic smoke notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20101104]
