Amber with a small white head. Aroma of bready and biscuit-y malt with a little fruitiness. Medium sweet malty flavour with a touch of roast malt. Average, but well made.

Bottle, 4.5%. Hazy chestnut colour. Small light brown head. The flavour is quite roasted with a good rough bitterness. Some aroma hops, too, but they are more or less drowned by the bitterness.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Slightly hazy, orangey brown with an off-white head leaving some laces. Somewhat fat, malty aroma with a whiff of nuts. Medium body, dry nutty malt and a rather hoppy finish. Quite decent. 180807

Bottle. Clear, copper pour, with a beige head. Malt, toffee, some chocolate, nuttyness and a biscuity touch in the aroma. The flavor is roasted, with some toffee, a wee note of chocolate, some nuttyness and a some biscuit-like flavors. Medium body. Dry, lightly hoppy finish with malt dominating. A nice one, it lead my thoughts to a nice mild. (070704)
