Aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, pine and toffee. Fairly full body, moderate carbonation. Sweet taste of pineapple, caramel. The oakiness shows toward the end and seems to build as I sip it more. Lingering pine and oak finish. uhre (339), Denmark Nov 5, 2009 Oak and lots of hops for the aroma, the foam is not visible for very long time, but that is due to the high alcohol. Taste is amazing with the bitternes. skortila (2875), Bunnik, Netherlands Nov 5, 2009 Bottled. aroma has wood, pine, citrus, some caramel. Clear, amber coloured with an oof-wite, lasting, medium head. The taste is quite bitter, has sweetness, some brandy, citrus, wood. Sticky palate. The oak aging is not to overwhelming and adds some nice balance to the heavy hopping.
