Additional earthy and very subtle aromas of banana and perhaps also a whiff of pineapple or mango in the background. Discover a very mellow, fruity attack, a nougat-like solidity, and a slightly spicy character with hints if liquorice passing into a warm finish that reminds you of caramelised banana. The bitterness always remains in the background but in the end and emerges delicately.

... wooden holder in order to stand it up . It looks a little like a yard of ale glass - but you can see for yourself in the photo .
