Deep amber and brown coloured body with a nice, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of coffee, earth, nuts, toffee, caramel and a bit of light medicinal notes. Light to Medium-bodied; Earthy body up front with a smooth caramel and sweet flavour that shows quite a bit of coffee near the end, more of a brewed type than any beans or strong flavour, but finishing with some light earthy malts and a tiny bit of caster sugar. Aftertaste shows hazelnuts, earth, toasted malt and a light amount of coffee and no real alcohol at all. Overall, a nice and refreshing beer with a lot of flavour and a smooth finish that make drinking pale lagers seem worthless. Naturally, this doesn’t really compare with some of the better beers from the USA, but a good option while over on this side of the world. I sampled this 330 mL bottle purchased a few minutes ago at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Supermarket in 2B in Central Taipei, Taiwan on 23-July-2017 for NT$120 sampled in my hotel room right next to the supermarket on 23-July-2017. Production date on bottle of 09-June-2017.
