(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy amber golden with floating impurities and a creamy off-white head leaving laces. Lightly tart and astringent vinegary nose with yeastiness also. Medium body with yeast, caramel and diacetyl. Bitter finish with quite some alcohol. Amazing how a beer this strong can turn this bad. 290508

Short-lived head, amberish-red beer with a very slight hazee. Faint fruity aroma, as well as a distinct but discreet alcohol nose. Bit oppressive alcohol flavour, complexed by many fruity esters and -flavours. Toasted malts, piebottom. Autolysis probable. Quite burning MF, much alcoholwarming, long-lasting. Dangerous concoction, if too overwhelming to be but sipped carefully.

Cloudy amber color with floating particles, not nice to see. Sourish aroma, dirty socks. An average Ale, with sweet caramel flavor and no bitterness, where an infection is knocking at the door. Warming final. If the infection will be corrected, it will be an ok beer.
