Black with quick fading dark head. Aroma and flavour have a smokey earthy overtone. Definitely something of a scorched forest floor. Oily texture.

Aus der Flasche im 2020-09 getrunken. Diese Bänger-Verion wurde hier mit Ebereschen und Wacholder gebraut. Hier finden sich schnell unter der dunkelbeigen Schaumkrone Aromen von Schokolade, Malz, leciht bittere Beeren mit einer ganz feinen Säure ähnlich wie bei Robusta-Kaffee. Die übliche Süße des Bängers versteckt sich hinter einer leicht, kräutigen Bitterkeit. Es ist eine spannende Interpretation des Bänger-Version kommt aber nicht anderen Bänger-Version heran.
