Bottle (Thanks to the Garching Gang!): Hazy, deep chestnut-amber coloured, small and slowly collapsing tanned head, moderate sweet-sourish aroma of toasted wheat and dried fruits, some dried mushrooms detectable, yeasty traces included; moderate sweet-sourish flavour, medium bodied as expected, a bit tart; slightly lingering mild sweetish-sourish toasty and mushroomy finish. Quite well drinkable, but not a great beer...

Pours very dark brown, almost black, topped with a sizeable though not really lasting beige head. Medium spicy nose, some yeastines and hints of chocolate as well as roastiness. Silky body, quite on the full side. Some malty sweetness, yeast. Spiciness and medium peppery bitterness. Some alcohol burn. Not the best for me, but not bsd.

Bottle. Hazy brown color with beige head. Aroma is bananas, chocolate, light yeast. Taste is chocolate, bananas, light chocolate, burnt caramel, a bit earthy, quite nutty, lots of wheat and milky yeast. Silky mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. Good enough, but quite a bit muddled.
