Bottle@Monks Cafe, Wallingatan. Rubyish brown colour with a small off-white foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is mild sugary tones with some rye bready and toasted elements too. Flavour is wort, with rye bread, some grains, mild sugary sweet tones as well as some toast. Not THAT offensive.

Deep dark brown color. Sweet and sugary. Chicken food flavor. Watery. Not too bad when served very cold. Has nothing to do with a real Faro.

Like many of these old, brown table beers, the term "faro" is used merely to indicate it is sweetened and coloured, but has nothing to do with the equally old-fashioned faro lambics in and around Brussels. This one is a classic in its style, with a very dark brown colour, clear, light maltiness and sweetened with saccharine; bit metallic with the expected thin mouthfeel, sweet and simple but nothing wrong with it in view of its style.

Bottle shared with Dutchdrebus, Ansjelaah and Joes @ weekly tasting. Opaque very dark brown to black color, small beige head. Not a lot of aroma. Taste sweetish, sugary. Low to average body and carbonation.

Neutral-süßlicher und leicht malziger Geruch. Der Antrunk ist wässrig-neutral, leicht malzig. Der Hauptteil ist mittelschwach, wässrig-neutral & leicht von malzigen Süßstoffaromen geprägt, die zum Nachgeschmack hin deutlicher werden. Kaum Herbe wahrnehmbar. Auf der Zunge bleibt eine mild-malzige und süßstoffgetränkte Note. --> nettes, leicht malziges Tafelbier, aber viel zu Süßstofflastig! 8/12/4/7
