0.33 l bottle from 'Craft Bier Bude', best before November 2021. Slow gusher! Slightly hazy, deep ruby with quite somw flocs and a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity and slightly yeasty-spicy aroma of raisins, prunes, chocolate, overripe banana and a touch of clove. Gently sweet, malty, quite fruity and a bit yeasty-spicy taste of chocolate, raisins, prunes, some overripe banana and traces of clove, followed by a short, slightly bitter, gently yeasty-spicy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Good BSA, haven't had that much in recent months but it's always nice to try one, especially if it's good.

This bottle seems old and stale. But there is no date. If you can look past that it is a nicely flavored beer. Online etre bier bottle

Foams like a mad dog. Flowery hoparoma with caramel. Sweet, perfumed flavor with caramel, raisin, citrus, prunes and mango. Thick, almost oily. Hoppy aftertaste.
