Sampled at Borefts Beer Festival 2019, day 1. Rusty dark orange brown color, no head. Aroma is light tart with some raisin notes. Hard to describe. Flavor is odd too. Maybe some leathery notes? Can't describe this one properly. Mwah.

Borefts 2019 - Hazy brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour have floral hop bitterness. Full falvoured and malty. Malt sugars come through well.

Tap. Hazy brown color with small white head. Aroma is toffee malts, some tart fruits, grainy-bready. Taste is caramel, fudge, toffee malts, a bit tart. Thick oily mouthfeel, low carbonation. Not impressive.

27/IX/19 - on tap @ Borefts Day 1, BB: n/a - (2019-1485) Thanks to the international RateBeer Crew for sharing today's beers!
Clear deep red brown beer, no head. Aroma: caramel malts, dried fruits, chocolate, soft roast, nice stuff going on here! MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: surprisingly sourish, tastes infected, acidic, caramel notes as well, soft roast. Aftertaste: dry, bit sourish, fruity touch, hoppy notes, more roast. Not the worst, but that sour infected flavour sort of ruins it for me.

A pretty traditional wee heavy, with all I'd want in the style. Dark copper'ish colour. Very soft, caramelly and malty. Some sweetness, but definitely bitterness and even a tiny hint of roasty malt. Well made, no flashyness.
