330ml bottle. Pours a dark clear brown with a small off white head. Beer is light to medium body with a smooth, off dry nature. Dark malts with a nutty taste and slight bitterness give it a dark beer taste but one that is rather short.
Pretty much what the label says; a dark beer without the weight of a stout or porter. Nice enough brown ale.

Bottle. Dark brown, with a tan head. Aroma had hints of coffee, nuts and hops. Taste was, unlike what the description says, like a good porter.

Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is sweet dark malt with a little roast, notes of nuts and cocoa, and caramel. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Satisfying Brown Ale.

12oz bottle on 4th Feb 2017 at my daughters new place in Laguna Niguel. Nice brown body, beige head: malty lead which carried through to the finish. Aroma had malty molasses and chocolate notes, taste just followed on with semi-sweet maltiness and chocolate flavours.
