Bottle, courtesy of franski. shared with Mrazek, kajzer and ogivlado. Copper body with a tiny white head. Vague meaty dry aroma. Dry, just tiny caramel, ever so slightly tart. Stale, bad, terrible. Useless.

Bottle thanks to Huw. Appearance - deep amber with a proportionate head. Nose - toffee, lemon and big malt notes. Taste - more of the same. Toffee dominant. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long and fairly dry tangy finish. Overall - a bit gnarly but enjoyable.

Pours a clear dark amber almost coppery color, topped with a medium non-lasting tan head. Mild malty aroma, some fruity and acaramel notes later on. A bit of bubblegum aroma initially. Taste starts sweet and slightly watery, followed by a very mild bitterness and a bit soapy feel. Easily drinkable, although could do with a bit more taste.
