Color here is a deep golden with a tinge of copper. A creamy, soft looking white cap just coats the top of the glass. The retention is good and sticky lace patterns appear with each taste. Aromas are floral and malty-sweet and somewhat fruity. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a dry, somewhat vinous feel. Flavors are soft, subtle and easy to enjoy. Interesting flavors include fresh flower (heather?) cocoa powder, dark chocolate, dish soap?!! (heather?) A sweet flowery/malty flavor with caramel traces finishes things up. A very different and interesting beverage to pass over the palate indeed.

Serving type: bottle
