Review and Tasting

Sampled on 17/03/2012

Appearance:

Cloudy, sandy amber with lasting thick creamy white head and glass coating lacing.

Aroma:

Yeasty overripe banana and pear skin with clove spice and demerara sugar.

Taste:

A huge beer with an equally heady alcohol strength, yet quaffable. Clove, black pepper and a touch of coriander spice lead a fruity, malty, medium dry honeyed palate.

Aftertaste:

Malty, honey finish with lingering notes of clove and coriander.
