Bottle. An unclear, copper-ish brown beer topped by a finger-thick off-white head. Pleasant grassy and lightly piney hops in the aroma, with crystal malts and a roasted touch in the aroma. A bit heavy on the carbonation, medium bodied and quite dry. Roasted notes, caramel and a fine bitterness in the flavor, but the hop flavor isn’t matching the malts, or the opposite. Bitter end with some roasted malts and caramel. Not my favorite in any way, but at least far from undrinkable. 120804

(bottle) Clear, amber to copper colour with a short and slightly tanned foamy head. Slightly toasted caramel-malty aroma with hints of liquorice and berry-fruity hops. Mildly bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light to almost medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Cara-malty base with liquorice-spice; initially subtle fruity notes which are getting stronger towards the dry-ish and moderately bitter hoppy finish. Nice and rounded Ale. 11.III.12
