Backlog from 2020. A brown beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt and bread, leading to a bitter finish.

Soft barley hints on the nose, has nice deep caramel brown body and good beige foam on top. Flavour is soft barley lagerness, smooth but not much flavour. Mouthfeel is full. It's clean and smooth but flavours could be more prominent.

Bottle from Antarabangsa Enterprise, Penang. Poured a clear dark brown with a fizzy light tan head. The aroma is roasty grainiy earthy malt, mineral, dry fake sugar. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a dry roasty, light chocolate, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.

(On tap) Clear, dark brown with a reddish hue and a beige head. Lightly fruity aroma with roasted malt accents. Medium in body with a soft mouthfeel - almost a little vinous. Dry finish with a discreet bitterness. Very balanced and well made. 080208
