0.33 l bottle from 'Rudat', bottled in August 2020. Slow gusher! Slightly hazy, very dark ruby with a MASSIVE, fluffy, very slowly diminishing, beige head, covering 95% of the glass. Ever after five minutes, there is still foam coming out of the glass. Sweetish-malty, a bit fruity aroma of caramel, chocolate and some dark fruits. Gently sweet, malty, moderately roasty, slightly fruity taste of caramel, cocoa, coffee, some dark fruits and faint hints of iron, followed by a short, slightly roasty-bitter, minimally metallic finish. Medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Pleasant beer, but quite amateurish, sorry.

Bottle: Presumably hazy, deep reddish-amber coloured and crowned by a big rocky yellowish head, that slowly collapses, moderate sweet-bitter roasty-toasty with traces of coffee, indeed, and a certain fruitiness, herbal hops detectable - nevertheless; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, nearly medium bodied, fizzy; coffeeish finish, increasing bitterness in the aftertaste. Decent taste, unfortunately a bit too fizzy…
