Bottled. A bronze coloured beer with no head. The aroma is fruity and creamy, with sugary sweet notes. Warming alcohol in the mouth. More sugary sweetness. A hint of toffee. Silky smooth. Fairly nice but needs more depth.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a slowly collapsing and lacing white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma. Sweet and fruity hops flavour with acidic touch. Lasting fruity and hoppy mild spiced aroma. Light yeasty and mild touch into the finish. Smooth. Nice one.

500ml bottle from Nelson Wines. Bronze with no head. Barley sugar is the dominant aroma and in the mouth the beer is sweet and honeyed. Smooth with a nice bitterness before the warmth of the alcohol rounds things off. Improves as it warms.

My second from this brewer and another goodie it seems. Sweet toffee and raisin notes on the nose develop in the tasting with more liquor and more sweetness. The alcohol is subtle and the finish thirst-quenching. I will ook forward to the next one.
