chestnut brown / amber with a smooth beige head.
mild malty aroma with a peculiar almost berry fruity hoppy note, reminds me of the aroma i've found in beers claiming to be "old ale" style. quite fruity. Nice enough though.
Flavor is bitter hoppy, fruity bitter hoppy, malty, roasted malty. palate is thick, a bit like a mix between ESB , stout and something wih berryish fruity notes.

Аромат приятный, немного винный, изюма, легкие горькие и пряные нотки от хмеля, чуть жженый солод. Цвет темно коричневый, прозрачный, пенка неплохая по началу. Вкус уже хуже, Больше ощущается солода, но а целом вкуса мало, очень много горького хмеля после глотка, при это сильная кислинка скорее кофейная. Какие то оттенки дуба. Но в целом разочарование.

Leather, some roast. Brown pour with Micha head. Dark chocolate. Pretty pleasant all around, I'm surprised I've never had this one. Light bitter end. A touch of bark. Can.
