(On tap) Clear, dark brown with a tint of orange and a creamy, beige head. Fairly burned almost coffeeish aroma. Light in body with notes of hard roasted malt and again notes of coffee in the flavour - is that from the roasted Weyermann rye malts? Again an underlying acidity. The finish is dry. Again this to me feels more like a Brown Ale, but Dennis Frings says it’s made with the house bottom fermenting yeast. In style it’s closest to a Schwarzbier. 090208
