Bottle, courtesy of faroeviking. A clear, dark brown beer with a beige head. Roasted nose, coffee-like. Dry on the palae with caramel and roasted malts. Dry, roasted finish. An easy drinkable beer, but really boring, I wouldn’t last a night on only this. 090822

Bottle. Mild chocolate aroma. Black colour. Seems hazy. Small stable light brown head. The flavour is roasted but quite dry. Not bad.

Dark chocolate and dark fruit dominate. Med-body with good depth, but not great balance. Finish with some dark fruit and minor bitterness. Enjoyable, but not outstanding by any stretch.

In a bottle. Copper colored with a medium, very fine head. Spicy, ginger-like aroma, Belgian-like yeast, some caramel and fruit. Slightly burnt, very spicy flavor. Yeast, amber malt, more than a bit like an Orval! Interesting. Dry, fruity, spicy. It is like an Orval copy, but a touch sweeter. (I wonder if they were trying?)
