75cl bottle. Dark orange and hazy liquid. The head is alive and be careful, it comes out of the bottle too. Nose : Spices of clove, dough and a bit bubblegum esters. Little vegetable aromas. A bit raisins. Quite complex and If I don’t stop there I might not be able to finish. Sip : Oily and a bit creamy. Sweet start with aromas of fruits and dough followed by the attack of strong bitterness. Damn it’s bitter. More like grapefruit bitter to be specific. Herbal and floral aromas are dominated by bitter end in the aftertaste. I wouldn’t expect any different from this brewery. Good stuff.
