Hazy amber color; medium sized head. Nice aroma of malt and fruity hop. Good body strength; smooth mouthfeel; it has a good flavor of malt and caramel, and a quite strong yet balanced hopping, both fruity and resiny; long final. It provides some elements of freshness.
Very good.

Bottle 33cl, a cloudy amber brown beer with huge creamy head and good lacing. Nose is intense, notes of spices like anise and cardamom with a kind of whisky barrel background, yeast notes too. Aroma is spicy too, more peppery that the nose, sweet, caramel notes, very bitter especially at the finish, orange body, alcohol is burning, kind of wood touch. Interesting complexity between malty side and the relative huge bitterness. Could be an old english ale, good.
