Draught (shared by Lövis). Reddish ambery brown colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is caramel, mild toast, toffee and some mild leathery and metallic notes. Flavour is similar with bigtime wooden notes too. As it warms up the metallic notes get more evident.

Draught@Bruuveri
Clear amber, chestnut color, small off-white head. Bready, ryeish aroma with hints of caramel. Medium-bodied. Flavor has raisins and is bready. Quite thin, watery palate for this ABV. Finish has some hoppy bitterness and then hints of caramel. Kind of homebrewish and not balanced as good English strong bitter should be.

(Draught at Bruuveri, 20111101) The beer poured brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had caramell, malts and carboard. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, molasses, caramell and low bitterness. Aftertaste was short, malty and lightly bitter. Watery, weak and tastes old even though it is a brand new brew.
