(Bottled 2021, 93 g/l RS, 8.67 g/l TA.) Great clarity, ~17 SRM. Smells of buttery caramel and sugar with some alcohol warmth and possible VA. Later I smelled toffee and a hint of cellar. Drinking this gave a pleasant burn on the back of the throat after a sugar-acid attack up from which featured flavors of maple, brown sugar, orange, and tangerine. Later there was more of a lemon flavor. This has wonderful marmalade flavor with a great acid tang to balance out the sweetness. 94+ points.
