Bottle shared with Joes and Dutchdrebus @ weekly tasting. Slightly unclear orange color, medium sized off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is malts, a bit off imo, herbs, I get a hint of peat and something weird. Taste malts, plants, some alcohol, leaves, something weird again, it’s something sweetish and sweaty at the same time. Meh, not my thing.
