Pours nice clear amber, not much head. Aroma has caramel, feels quite funky. Tree-resins are probably the reason for this. Taste has caramel, some creamy resins, not much hops. Scottish yeast character mingling with forest characters. Pretty nice one again from Kiesby’s.

Amber color, very little head. Sweet malty nose with some butterscotch and marmalade. Medium body that I was expecting to be much heavier. Very malty. Smooth. Slightly boozy. It is not bad, but doesn’t go anywhere special.

Thanks to TimE for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing slightly copper tinged, moderately filtered, showing no head. The nose shows a lot of sweet round malts. The palate shows a lot of carbonation and full bodied. Strong alcohol bite, slight whiskey flavors, and moderately sweet malts throughout.

Bottle at bkl. Initially a tad sour, then the resins open up and you get sap and Amber. Amber colour, lowish head. Interesting interplay between the tree aromatics and the kölsch which serves as base. A gimmick that actually works.

330 ml bottle from Ammersin 5, Vienna.
Dark golden, moderate hazy body, with a medium, frothy, white head, that dissipates quickly.
Aroma of smooth malts, herbs, pine wood, ripe fruits, some hops.
Taste follows this, with some alcohol.
Quite light, oily mouthfeel, with a low carbonation.
Finishes alcoholic, astringent, with bitter herbs, dry pine wood, subtle hops.
Nice one. A bit too much alcohol presence for my liking, but otherwise a nice combination of smooth malts and pine wood, which works very well. Interesting brew.

Leicht trübes dunkel goldgelbes Bier mit einer geringen aber feinen leicht beigen Schaumkrone. Geruch sehr malzig, Gewürze, floral, hopfig. Geschmack sehr malzig, fruchtig süß, holzig, Gewürze.
