UPDATED: FEB 19, 2013 For my taste this beer is not good, complex and incomprensible complex aroma and taste, very beautiful presentation in glass but the aromatic characteristic disliked me.

ciaranc (369) - Dublin, IRELAND - MAY 23, 2013
Dark copper, hints of mahogany, foamy off-white head that starts large and fizzes away. Cherries, cassis, cola, cough syrup, molasses, grain, nutmeg and leathery musty yeast in the aroma - class. Sweet and sticky in the flavour, with notes of Lyles golden syrup and bursting with tight carbonation. Finish is sweet and spicy, with some warming alcohol.
