Bottle.Pours deep amber with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, malt, some red apples and fruitiness. Flavor is sweet and malty with some brown sugar and caramel. Medium body, average carbonation.

Bottle. It’s a lightly hazy one, amber to light brown in color and with a small, light beige head. Caramel maltyness, some bready and a touch of something almost butterscotchy. Herbal notes and a decent grassy hoppynes too. Dried fruits. The flavor is quite sweet, with caramel, bread crusts, some dried fruits and a little bitterness. Nice bitterness in the end. Maybe a bit high rating, but I enjoyed the combination of bready, caramel maltyness and bitterness. 120516
