Dark brown, top fermented and unpasteurized, where the roasted barley, hops and yeast give a distinctive character and a delightful bitterness, giving flavour and aroma of chocolate, caramel and coffee.

500ml bottle from at a bar in Corfu Town on 8th Oct 2016. Cola brown with a tan coloured head. Burnt malts in both the nose and taste, some liquorice notes within the malty flavours: decent and almost interesting.

0,50 bottle courtesy of the Hoppy guys from Thessaloniki-Greece. Many thanks brothers. Consumed in Serbia (ciao Marko/Matt). It pours chestnut skin color (!), pretty dark with a small and gassy ivory foam. Nose: veggies (rotten), white eggs, paper. Mouth: a sip was enough. Tart, boring and likely infected. Not in style (absolutely) and far from being called a beer. A total pour in the sink! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Mild karamellig röstiger Beginn. Leichte Süße, milde steigende Bitterkeit. Süffig, angenehmes Malz, moderate Bitterkeit, vollmundig. Dabei bleibt das Bier süffig und leicht süß - gelungen. 8/9/11/9/9/9
