Bottle, 0.33l. Deep amber/brown pour, two finger soapy beige head, good retention, lots of lacing on the glass. Sweet and roasty on the nose, caramel, bread, dried fruits. Light smoke in the background. Light body, soft carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, watery, slightly fizzy. Roasty bittersweet taste. Aroma of smoke, toasted caramel, bread, grains. Cardboard, toffee. Somewhat weird aftertaste. Short lasting finish, bitter, roasty. Mediocre.

Aroma is lightly fruity, red fruit, roasty, chocolate but unclean fermentation fermentation profile. Soft acidity on the nose. Soft toffee notes. Flavour is rough roasty notes, chocolate, toffee, some dried fruit and red fruit, lightly estery. Cardboard. Dry finish, some bitterness.
