25 cl bottle from Stormin’ Norman. Not sure about the low ratings, but I think this is marvelous. Towering thick rocky head, akin to a tripel. Color is murky orange/amber, aroma is sweet, spice, coriander, taste more of the same. Velvety texture and sweet aftertaste. A real find!

Bottle (33 cl) from Etre Gourmet. Clear deep golden to amber, medium white head. Spicy and nutty aroma with almond paste, and a touch of Madeira (the bottle looked a bit old with a rusty cap and frazzled label). Semi dry with low bitterness.
