L- It closely resembles a Coke, or a Long Island Iced Tea. both in colour and in having a very fleeting head. Except that it pours with a slight haze.
S- Stunningly light for a 9%, I just seem to get some mild malts.
T- Woah! Mega-malty and caramel notes! And then a blast of ABV% licking across my palate.
F- Rich and rounded, then that lick of ABV% - it reminds me of a well doused sherry trifle in the rich/rounded vs ABV contrast.
O- To me it's arguably un-subtle but would make a welcome slow-sipping beer on a winter's night. If you are the kind of drinker who holds that high ABV% should be 'Seen (on the lable) but not heard (on your palate)' then this one risks being a bit rowdy for you.
I'm certainly enjoying experiencing this one but it is a bit more of a blunt weapon than I'm likely to repeat buy.
