1/8/2018. Bottle courtesy of trade with ciocanelu, cheers! 5.3% abv. Pours dark amber with a lasting foamy off-white head. Aroma of hops, pine, fruit, caramel and a hint of nut. Light sweetness, medium plus bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, average carbonation. Bittersweet finish. Not bad.

Bottle at Kanaal, Sofia, Bulgaria. Shared with lovely Anja and Our K&K Igor. Hazy amber to copper, small off-white head. Strong caramel, lightly toasty and lightly nutty. Light hops. Balanced. Hops and toasty malts in the flavour. Medium body, high carbonation, light finish. Not hoppy, over-carbonated. Not a fan.

Bottle BBE 1.5.2017. Spewed out massive amounts of foam when opening. Hopefully not spoiled.... Smell of citrus, some hops. Muddy brown colour, insane beige head. Aroma of hops, some yeast, grapefruit in finish. Some earthy aroma as well, but no real spoiled flavours. Bitter. Plentiful, soft carbon.
