Brown color. A bit cheesy/yeasty aroma. Very good malty (quite dry in the beginning; becomes more mellow later) and hoppy example. Strong final with a lot of caramel as well.

Deep chestnut brown; good dense, yellow-brown head, rather stable. Bit sourish nose - even outspoken Brett-like (!BBd: Jul ’05....); liquorice, lactic acid, quite vinous. Sour taste, but no more or inconspicous Brett. Hard woody-acids, liquorice, but not sweet, bitterness both from bitterhops as from roasted dark malts. Problem is, I find serious unbalance between nose and flavours. Medium bodied, but rather firm texture, bit of acidburn. Main problem: balance. Main quality: excellent nose and firm "bite" = mitigated feelings. Certainly not bad, and much better than the this/that/whotever nonsense series.
