Bottle, 1.3%. Sweet aroma, roasted with a little burnt malts. Clear very dark brown colour, fizzy light brown head. The flavour is quite sweet, but not sickening, some brown sugar. A little watery in the finish, but not thin as such.

Bottled. Dark brown, small head. Sugary sweet with some vegetables and caramel and loads of saccharine. No bitterness. Artificial and foul.

A red-brown beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet and berry like, while the flavor is artificially sweet with notes of berries.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark burned nougat-like colour, very bubbly head that bubbles away in no time - like in a sodapop. A touch of malt, but otherwise I can only taste the artificial saccharine sweetness. 230398

Coca-Cola like contraption, head and carbonation included. Sweet nose, "Traubenzucker", cookies, liquorice. Weak, sweet, slightly fruity taste. Bit like an energy fruit drink with cola flavour. Bit of leathery aroma. Light bodied, long sweet aftertaste. Bah, yes. The name "Faro" ought to be forbidden for such nablab-stuff. Another point off.

Botled. The colour is very dark, although e.g. Westvleteren Abt is also very black, this black reminds me of Cola. Little bit sweet, bit malty aroma. When I thougth it looked only like Cola, it even tastes like. But yeah, it's a table-beer ...
