...white flower, anise and clove that can also be found on the tautly muscled, rich and palate staining flavors that possess superb depth and the best dry extract levels... big but not inelegant Bâtard and should be on your shopping lists.

Full bodied but with lots of structure. Not nearly readable yet. A hint of lime and a whiff of smoke but lots of chew above all. Wait.
