Tap at the brewery. Light roast, bit of sweetness, light dryness, ovaltine. Interesting but not sure how experimental it is.

Sampled from draught. Dark brown color, small beige head. Smell and taste are both faint and watery. I get a light touch of roastyness and malts or wheat, but the beer is too watery to really get a lot of flavours. Don’t like it.
