3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. It pours a clear, amber body and a small, dense, off-white head. Quite alcoholic on the nose, with toffee and some anise, as well as dark dried fruits and some hops. Toffee, bitterness, anise notes and a metallic touch in the flavor. Full-bodied, warming and semi-dry. Lasting bitterness in the end. I find it a bit unbalanced, but it’s quite tasteful and nice anyway. 111127
