650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with light head. Aromas of vinous wood and roasted malts. Sour flavors follow same with something like raspberries. I don;t think it's supposed to be that way. Not very good.

Light, thin, a bit caramelly, not all that pleasurable, lacking body and complexity. Ne dazzle pas.

12 oz. can, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is very weak and watery, with bready malt and cardboard notes. Flavour is spicy and earthy, with bready malt, cardboardy notes, and unpleasant, artificial spiciness. This is just unpleasant.
