Malty aroma, touch of spice, ginger. Taste is very nice. Malty spiciness, but with a soft oaky and slightly funky texture. Very enjoyable!

33cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours very dark brown, almost black, with fluffy cream foam, irregular. Aroma is of figs, dried fruits, hazelnut, barrel aging. Body is fairly dense, with average carbonation. Taste is moderately sweet, and with limited bitterness. I expected more, sincerely. Of course, on the other hand, the beer is balanced. Finish is average.

330ml bottle. Pours deep dark brown, almost black with a small head. Aroma of oak, fruits, citrus, hints of roastiness, coffee and chocolate. Taste is smooth, slightly fruity and oaky with some hints of wood, roastiness, coffee and chocolate. Finish is oaky, stingy woody and quite fruity with some pine, citrus, mango and coffee notes. Quite an interesting mix of fruitiness and oak.

Botte from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Best Before Date 17/01/2018. Poured a clear dark brown with a fizzy off-white head. The aroma is malt, liqourice, nutty, dry hop. The flavour is liqourice bitter with a watery, fizzy, liqourice, dry, veggie, light floral hop bitter palate and some oaky bitterness in the finish.. Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation. Watery, light and way over-carbonated. It was indeed approaching the best before date but this was a pretty dreadful beer. The worst I have had from Siren. Need to check the bottling process I think as this beer was mildly infected.

Bottle shared with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran at a tasting session in the summer of 2017. Thanks for sharing! Clear brown, creamy head. Roasty, chocolate, some oak and light caramel. Nice balance, spicy hops present, roasty, ash. Dry. Thin to medium body, moderate carbonation, lightly roasty finish. Nice, warming, but not spectacular.

330 ml bottle from Etre Gourmet, bb 17/01/18.
Mahagony body, with a big, creamy, lacing, beige head.
Aroma of citric hops, dark berries, toast, some roast, bread, dark chocolate, wood, hazelnut, toffee, coffee, earth, some vanilla.
Tastes similar, very smooth.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium bitter, moderate roasty, a bit dry, very smooth, a bit warm, wooden, with citric hops, dark chocolate, nuts, some toffee, some dark bread.

Tasty. The balance is really great, fruity hops, roast notes and smooth sweet notes are just well dosed, supported by some lovely wooden notes from the oak. Very smooth to drink, while also surprisingly rich for the ABV. Among the best Brown Ales I've had so far!
