Bottle bummed in the street from two guys named kermis and deanso. Slight hazy amber with cream colored head. Caramel, marzipan, light spicy yeast, cloves, honey, light paper and grass. Nice sweet Indian desert or something. Over medium sweet and light bitter. Medium bodied with a bit sticky feel.

330 ml. bottle sampled. Purchased @ De Hopduvel. BBF 01/08/2016. Deep amber, light copper, tanned solid head. Nose is metallic, old leaves, butterscotch, oxidation, heavy metallic, copper, light dust. Taste is herbal, metallic, medicinal roots, ginger candy, bay leaf, copper, herbal, toffee,… A bit watery, doughy, some paper. Too rich of medicinal herbs, copper etc. notes for my liking. Not thick enough. Interesting ’though.
