Yep, this is one hell of a beer!
The pour is a beautiful, full, solid amber affair with a lovely, dense, slightly off-white head. The head is formed by an excpetional array of bubbles that rise to the surface like small pieces of gold dust – it’s a tremendous sight to see!
This is an amazingly well balanced brew with the malt, hops and alcohol content perfectly complimenting one another.
The taste is all honey to me, with a perfectly warm, rounded mouthfeel. It’s georgous. Are you going to drink a lot of it? Certainly not, but that’s not a problem this one is a beer to be enjoyed and savored over time.
Smashing!
