Bottle: quite malty, light caramel, some toasted notes, light fruity notes, nice roasted notes, good bitterness, some woody and peaty smoke which is nice, medium bodied, creamy mouthfill, one of my favorite beers.

0.5 l bottle. Amber color with creamy head. Sweetish, caramelly, nutty and slightly toasty aroma with notes of flowery british hops. Caramelly, toasty and nutty with medium bitterness and flowery-candyish british hops. Pleasant and easy.

Bottle that my neighbor picked up at total wine. Cloudy amber pour, medium whitish head. Nice aroma of malts and some hops in the background. Flavor is certainly malty, a bit of good bread in the flavor followed by a bitter hop finish. I liked it ok.
