At the BeerTemple in Amsterdam. Thick, moussy, creamy, yellowish white head over a hazy bronze coloured beer. Aroma of apple peel, smoked meat, hay, orange, hint of caramel; light fruity taste, soft and a bit sweetish, caramelly and later on very toasted maltiness, crisp with a long bitter finish with citrus peel touch and some warming, bourbon-like alcohol. Very solid.
