This sounds so historical — or maybe even modern in the current world political context (I hope not) — that I just have to give it a try. The beer wears a see-through, deep copper gown. Carbonation is still somewhat oppressed but more extrovert than that of the previous beer. A beautiful, creamy, dense head emerges on the top and measures almost one finger. Retention is substantially long as a neat silky lacing decorates the surface. The scent offers loads of malt, caramel and multigrain bread. Maybe also a proposal of toffee decides to step out of the darkness. Promising. The tastebuds enjoy caramel malt, dry-grassy hops, bready and grainy flavors and an injection of resin. Simple and predictable but all the components are there. No need to reinvent the wheel once it has already been invented. The body is light minus but not exactly thin. The finish is similar to the actual taste but simpler, leaves something behind, on the floor. The aftertaste is a new recruit in the army and is eager to get into the "real business" soon. The mouthfeel is light, crisp, piney, marginally resinous, surely dry and a tad drying. Traditional. Brings history to today. Solid piece.

Chestnut coloured malty bitter. Nice session beer.

Not a bad tipple, could definitely be a session ale
