Session signature short bottle, skipped the pour. Thanks to Eugene for the bottle/reminder that I never rated this back in my Session kick days. Creamy chocolate malt. Almost like a sweet cream, milk chocolate porter. Interesting, unique lager. Dark, but cool finish. Pretty good stuff.

Drought. Reddish brown with small beige creamy head, light caramel aroma, roasted malt taste, thin body, low carbonation, medium finish with caramel aftertaste. Light but easy to drink.

This far too much like a cereal lager, and not enough of the roast grain bitterness which the style should have. Sweet grains dominate the aroma and taste, almost no bitterness or bite at all. Disappointed...

Re-rate 1/15: Bottle sample at a tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks Tom L. Dark amber-brown. Caramel, toast, nuts, chocolate. Sweetish. Seems fresher than last time, but still just OK. 6/3/6/3/12
Bottle sample at a tasting at Zvika’s place. Thanks zvikar. Clear deep amber with red hues. Oxidized aroma with a bit of cardboard, chocolate, a bit of nutty notes and a bit of caramel. Sweetish flavor with caramel, a bit of chocolate, light roastiness, a bit sugary. Medium-bodied. 5/3/6/3/11=2.8
