Simple and somewhat lacking a desired roasted bite. Medium bodied. Some earth and burnt malt. Nice enough.

Dark brown pour with some tan beige head. Aroma somewhat sourish, some lacto, yoghurt, cherries and a bit of liquorice. Taste has some cheese and cheesecake, roast and smoke in a rather balanced way, and long bitter burnt bread, roast finish. Interesting creamy mouthfeel, that cheese part is also unusual but otherwise actually better than I thought. Relatively weak body makes this also quite easy to drink. Not bad.

Very dark brown color. Very light brown head. Lots of cacao and licorice in the nose, slightly sweet malty nose. A dusting of cacao, dark fruit, caramel. Short dry finish. Lacks acidity and solid roasted malt character and not enough body despite 6.5%. Despite that it’s not bad.

Tap at the tap room. Nose is chocolate, a bit of rubber, cream. Rather sweet chocolate and cream flavor, low bitterness and roast, and a bit phenolic. The weakest of their beers that day.
