I saved this for the coldest October Day in 30 years-it reached 15 degrees tops today, 22 October 2008.
So, the beer, a 1 cm head that dissapears. It pours a dark brown with a slight orange tinge when held up to the light.
Upon tasting I first notice a biting gassy spiceness-followed by sweet maltiness and finishing with a woody berryness.
Not a bad drop- i served it too cold for what is essentially a light porter
