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.

Bottle at Borefts, thanks to Mathieu87 so it seems although I don’t believe we met, 28/09/13. Lightly hazed dark amber with a thin off white head that dissipates edgeward. Nose is bready malts, light toffee and fruits. Taste comprises bready malts, summer fruits, light sugar. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finish with a touch of bitterness. So so bitter, I’ve had far worse on cask!

Courtesy & thx! to Mathieu87. 50 cl. “bomber” sampled @ Borefts 2013. BBF 29/06/2013. Nice bottle. Pours brown & oily with no head. Nose is not that strong, weak malts, weak oily caramel with some dust. Taste is weak, caramel, malty, oily nuts, light hops, faint herbs, slightly fruit. Faintly watery. Not earth shattering but this is true to the style & could be def. better on cask. These guys are doing a nice job, keep at it.

Bottle Paleo Frourio, Corfu. It pours clear ruby-brown with a thick beige head. The nose is earth, brown bread, dried fruit and some caramel. The taste is toast, brown bread, earth, leather, a touch of cocoa, cola and decent bitterness, with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not a bitter anyways... Actually rather drinkable. Not too shabby at all.
