(Bottle 33 cl) Very dark, clear amber - almost brown - with a huge, creamy, brownish head that leaves big lumps on the side of my glass as it dissipates. Pleasant, roasted aroma. Body is very dry with notes of roasted malt and caramel. A bit flat in the mouth. Wee touch of (aroma)hops in the finish, with a slightly metallic edge. No way an IPA, more like an American Dark Lager. But pleasant and highly drinkable. 241205

Bottle. Metallic, sweet hop aroma. Dark brown colour, some soy... Unstable head. Flavour is of iron. Loads of iron. Very unpleasant. I hope this contract brewed beer (from Haus der 131 Biere) is nothing like the original. IPA? No. Drainpour? YESSIR!

Bottled. Distributed in Europe by Haus der 131 Biere in Hamburg, which means that you can't trust the origin of it. At least in this case the stated brewery seem to exist in reality, but I'm not 100% sure this beer is not in reality brewed somewhere else. Anyway, the comes across mahogany coloured with some caramel aroma. Sweet and clean with an awful extract homebrew-like malt character. A hint of caraway and then an empty finsih with out a trace of hops or bitterness.
