Bottle. cloudy brown, golden brown foam. Nice spicy roast aroma, malt sugars, caramel, roast, light earthy, grassy hops. Medium to light body, feels a it light after the full on aroma. Still nice roast and caramel, unfortunately some DMS lurking in the background. Roasted dry, good hop balance, some cabbage retronasal.

Bottle: Ruby-amber dishwater-like coloured, quickly collapsing medium-sized loose tanned head; burnt malt, caramel and fruity aromas in the nose, mild grassy hops barely detectable; mild to moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied, almost a bit watery; slightly drier and a bit more bitter in the short finish. Not a really pleasant one, but at least a more expensive one...

(bottle) Hazy, ruby brown colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Mildly yeasty and earthy, delicately toasted dark malty aroma with berry fruity notes and hints of caramel. Slightly sweet and delicately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a mildly prickly carbonation. Moderately toasted malt character with notes of dark and red berries, shades of caramel and herbal hoppy spice towards the subtle fruity and dark malty finish. Okay but not overly exciting. 22.XII.16
