Small, shortlived brownish head over hazy, deep dark brown-red beer. Dark, perfumey malts, some speciality grain on the nose. Dry, wry taste, pharmaceutical. Dried fruit preserved in diluted solvent. Real off-flavour at every new sip; wry, nearly tart. Astringent, medium bodied at best, dry-out effect. Ouch. Something gone wrong here, not working. Dry is one thing, astringent OTOH...

Bottled. Very dark brown opaque colour with big brown creamy head. Aroma is slight alcohol, some fruits, and sweet rice. Flavour is caramel, sugar and some slight soapy notes.

Bottle, 7.5% at the Snuffel Hostel in Brugge. Hazy brown colour with small floaties. Small, stable, creamy light brown head. The flavour is slightly sweet with a quite bitter roastedness. Seems to get a little sourness from the hops. Hint of yeast and alcohol in the aftertaste.

Dark amber color; nice head. Quite nice malty aroma. It tastes really like a homebrew stuff, with too much yeast impression; there is also a lot of caramel, it’s pretty dry. At the end the alcohol burns too much the tongue; the bitterness is high.
