Bottle, 4.5%. Citric and grainy aroma. Also a little sweet and bready like some non alcoholic beers. Hazy golden colour. Small frothy chalk white head. The flavour is malty in the bready and grainy way, not bad. Tastes like a decent Zwickel.

Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a tan head - stout? not from the looks of it. The aroma has notes of dusty hops, malt, and stored fruits. The flavor has notes of chocolate and dust. The body is light. All in all it is boring.

Bottle @ Dutch "the Good, the Bad & the Ugly" tasting. Clear brown color, short frothy head. Aroma of toast, caramel. Sweet sugary taste. I prefer Hakim as a Algerian mime-player of Sesame street instead of this beer.

bottle from Bierzwerg. Hazy amber-brown colour, mid-sized off-white head, quite persistant. Aroma of caramel. Full-bodied, sweetish malty base with lots of caramel and chocolate, hints of raisins and prunes. A very nice beer, I would drink that again anytime.
