Tap at City Beer Store. I can understand the criticism, but I thought it was pretty good. The beer is pretty far outside of the norm. Dark brown color with little head. It’s got an aroma of chocolate, a bunch of very woody spice, sage, lavender and juniper. It’s a complex mix of herbal notes and darker malt. It’s mildly sweet. Interesting stuff.

Brown with a big and lasting off-white head. Aroma of grain, caramel, toffee and fruit, with hints of roast malt and smoke. Dry and roasted flavour with licorice notes. A bit cloying in all the dark flavour

Hazy yellow with a big white head. Unique aroma of herbs, spices, and green nettle. Sweet herbal flavour with lots of green weeds, getting quite a bit cloying

Draught, KØ11. Mild roasted aroma. Almost black colour, seems clear. The flavour is dry and rather acidic. OK refreshing combination. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, though.

Draught, KØ11. Black colour. Very small dark brown head. The flavour is mildly roasted and a bit funky. Seems a bit off, but not too badly. Papery finish.

Bottle: Poured a dark color lager with a large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of lightly roasted malt notes with some caramel and light black chocolate notes. Taste is also a mix between some light caramel malt with subtle notes of chocolate and light dry bitter finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Well doe for the style with great drinkability and complexity ratio.

Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with a small foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of rosemary and thyme is overpowering and almost too much to handle. Taste is also totally dominated by rosemary and thyme notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Interesting but too much herbs makes this one unbearable after a while.
