Fro notes. 1997 tasting. Bottle. Clear amber color with a thin white head that disappeared quickly and left scant lacing. Aroma of toffee and caramel. Flavor has lots of malts, some citrus, and a bit of light spice. Slightly bitter finish. Nice.

(Bottle 50 cl) 5.5% ABV in my version. Neat amber coloured beer with a small, dense head. Very soft and smooth with notes of lightly sweet caramel and a wee touch of smoke. 200500

Medium head upon pouring with a full body.Quite hoppy with a pleasant flowery aftertaste.For some reason it reminded me of several Shepherd Neame brews.
