19/1/2019. Bottle from Die Bierothek, Leipzig shared at the second Kesgrave 50/50 bottle share. Pours dark brown with a large off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, hops, fruit, roasted malt and a hint of aniseed. Moderate sweetness with medium bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Sweet chocolate malt finish. Enjoyable.

Pours dark brown from the bottle with a tan head that fades to a creamy layer. Aroma is chocolate, tropical fruits, piney, floral. Overall a very promising start. Taste is bitter with rich undertones of chocolate, citrus, salt, melon. Feels simple but exceptionally well balanced. Sadly, then proceeds to be dragged down by a papery, cardboard note that clings to the tongue. Finishes with a light alcoholic warmth. Despite a great start, this one could not persuade me.

Botella 33 cl en el kraken 05..04..2017. (r79). Lote 17..172 hasta elaborada 02..2016 hasta 22..02..2018. Color negro con buena capa de espuma beige. Sabores bastante intensos, más de lo esperado, maltosos tostados algo torrefactos secos con ligeros herbaceos finales y ligeros cacaos. Cuerpo ligero a medio con cierta sensación alcohólica y 8.5 vol. Bastante buena. Para repetir.

At a tasting, thanks, smallish head, deepish and quite opaue brown color with light reddish hues, aroma of roasted coffee and waffles with nutty and earthy hints, toasty Greenish flavor with some roastiness, mellow shrubby bitterness. Not too complex, But quite nice and mellow.
