Lingers long enough on palate for true tasting before disappearing with more dry spices.
Actually lingers on the palate longer than usual.
Drinks very slowly.

Overall: A beer which ought to be enjoyed on its own, although it will please gentlemen more than ladies.
If you must absolutely drink it with food, cheese and spicy meats would be best.
Strong and intriguing although standard as far as alcohol content is concerned.
A beer for tasting, especially on a hot afternoon!
