from crackedkettle.com - pours a dark and hazy amber colour, lot of particules are floating in the beer; nice creamy beige head; aroma of blackcurrant and blueberries; a bit dusty; very creamy mouthfeel; the body below is quite thin but shows a good balance between the initial sweetness and a late bitterness/sourness; the finish is fruity, dusty and quite long - a pleasant brew
