Hazy, dark brown. Aroma is floral and yeasty. A bit like some champagne. Flavour is tart, yeasty with some wood dryness. Strong alcohol finish.

75 cl. bottle sampled @ Kerstbierfestival Essen 2013. Reddish dark brown with a tanned head. Nose is candy sweet, caramel, toffee, fruity, faint coffee. Taste is toffee & distinct coca-cola, sweet herbs, toffee, touch iron, heavy malts, dried fruits. M/M body. Okay brew, the tasting notes on this one in the festival booklet are crazy. They talk about lactic notes, vinegar, mustard seed, pickles etc. Uhm, what? Their beer seems ridiculously fascinating but my sample had none of the stuff that they noted.
