Small yellow-beige head over hazed chestnut-coloured beer. Meaty & spicy aromas vying for domination. Bit (dark)bready notes in the finish; sweetish, bit like a German dunkler Bock. Fresh bready-spicy notes in the taste. Sweet-bitterness, but with a tinge of (CO²?) acidity. Nutty, certainly warming up. Spices are present, but nowhere imposing - excellent balance. Warming, some alcohol; medium to well-bodied; medium to well-carbonated. 2 years old, but still going strong! Congrats for this effort, and many thanks to Stef!

Süßlicher Antrunk, das Malz agiert zurückhaltend. Die Süße wirkt tatsächlich zuckrig. Nach und nach wird das Bier malziger, wirkt aber nie wirklich aromatisch. Nicht sehr aussagekräftiges Bier. 8/8/9/8//8
