Hazy brown color. Aroma of caramel and apples. Strong body, strong caramel flavor, with traces of apples, sweetish; hints of grappa; the alcohol perception is too high, burning. Low bitterness. Unbalanced.

Someone referred to this as this brewer’s take on an Irish Ale. Not even close. The aroma is slightly spicy, peppery. The appearance is a light yeloow/ed color, white head. The alvor is like the aroma, fruity, spicy, peppery. the finish is simply spicy. Medium in body. OK.
