Rubia al Vapor, quite a nice looking pour - a deep cloudy honey amber with a thick beige creamy head with no lacing but a creamy film floating atop the beer. Malty and fruity aroma, not bad. Medium bodied with a spritzy carbonation. The taste is surprisingly bitter, malts, nuts, some fruitiness maybe occasional subtle hints of fusel. Not too surprising as this beer seems to have been made in February - the height of the Chilean summer. Overall not too shabby. My general impression is a bit more boozy than the 5.8%, nice malts, bitter caramel, a bit of fruits, reminds me of some Mikkeller beers I had ages ago... decent but california common doesn’t spring to mind. Actually as it warmed up it grew on me and became more appetizing.

Sampled from bottle @ Borefts ’13, thx to Abijens sisters boyfriend. Hazy yellow to orange colour with a small white head. Smells fruit, apricot, fresh, hoppy and nice. Tastes hops, fresh, fruity and a hint of sour. Medium body and a bit too much carbo for me.

Sampled @ Borefts 2013 thanks to Abijen. Hazy yellow to orange color, small off - white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly an infection I think, still decent though. Average body and carbonation.

33cl bottle from Arve_Christian - thanks a lot! Pours clear dark brown with a reddish hue and a small but lasting beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruits and licorice with hints of coffee and wood. Medium sweet and roasty with some fruity and wooden notes and a quite balanced bitterness. Medium body with fairly average carbonation. Well balanced and easy to drink. Nice stout, fits perfectly on a hot summer day like today.

330 ml bottle sampled in 2010. Cloudy golden body with a fast disappearing white head. Mild and light oxidized aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, alcohol, harsh, metallic bitterness and hint of oxidation. Medium body and short aftertaste. To sweet and strong, out of balance.

Darkish brown. Very thick head - too much, really. The aroma has some tartness, which is unfortunate. Mostly chocolate, but again with a little tartness.

a touch of plastic and Brett. Light, a bit sour with some apricot notes and funk. Astringent finish. A lot of off qualities, but not bad.

Bottle, 5%. Fruity aroma, a bit of roasted tar. Almost black colour, clear red shine. Small tan head. The flavour is nicely roasted, good coffee note, slightly acidic to balance. Good for ABV.
