This lager poured a deep amber colour with an minimal, soapy head. You really had to slosh it around to get head enough for some reasonable lacing. Scents include caramel, malt, must, dough and a little cardboard. First swig was delicious with a nice creamy mouthfeel and flavours of caramel, malt, minimal spice and must. Finish is sweeter with malty goodness lingering.

Tap at the source. Dark brown pour, with a small off white head. Aroma is very very roasty, with slight hints of spice and some light pine. Mouth feel and carb are good. The finish as it warms reveals more caramel malts and some Munich style malt notes. The lager aspect really starts to come though, it's being sold a tad to cold I find. All in all as it warms its nice, when serve remains me of a roasty brown ale.
