Bottle at the Munich Brewver Christmas gathering at Jonas's in Garching Friday 28th November 2025, in the company of Jonas and Ursula. We picked this up from a supermarket in Croatia. Pours mid brown with a light beige head. Simple and straightforward stout, nice light roasty edge, a little bit of stock,, nice soft mouthfeel, good bite. Good.

Eine mühsame Schaumbombe. Leider dann auch im Mund zu stark karbonisiert, schätze ich bei Stouts noch weniger als sonst. Schade.
