Bottled. A pitch black beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of chocolate, but also a hint of acidity. The flavor is acidic with notes of malt and chocolate - I thin it is off.

Black with medium beige head. Sweet sour aroma with notes of roasted malt, berries and balsamico. Sweet and sour flavor with sour berries, roasted malt and oak notes. Must be infected. But that came out just right.

From bottle, 5B Papsoes New Zealand vs US blind tasting. Pours dark brown and hazy to murky with a fully diminished tan head. Roasted malt with a mild chocolate note. Sourish fruity flavour. Mild roasted note and more of that horrible sourish flavour. Ends strange fruity acidic.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear golden with a somewhat rough, off-white head. Spicy, floral aroma. Medium body with lightly sweet malts and some hard to define notes - somewhat herbal and spicy medicinal perhaps, but quite pleasant really. A lightly bitter finish. Interesting. 200208

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pale amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving a broad curtain of laces. Lightly nutty and fruity nose. Medium body with lightly sweet, roasted malt and again some nutty accents before a dry finish. Very pleasant and quaffable. 110208

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yalnikim/bozoNZ. Pours a clear, dark amber with a creamy, beige head. Very smoky aroma with a whiff of caramel. Medium body, very sweet, burned caramel and then these fat, baconish Bamberg style smoky notes. Slightly burned in the finish. 310108

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pale golden with a bubbly, white head that dissipates rather quickly. Dry apple aroma. Fairly light in body with way too much carbonation. Discreet and dry but not very acidic apple notes. Dry, bubbly finish. Disappointing. 300108

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a pretty, deep golden with a small, white head. Malty aroma with a whiff of fruit. Medium body and quite a solid malt base - lightly sweet malts - and a touch of honey. The finish is dry and lightly bitter - no, it actually turns out to be VERY bitter! A clean and solid offering. 280108

Bottle at home with Tom and Royce ... Big thanks to my sister for not bringing back two swill lagers for me ... light malt nose ... bit over fizzy and thin ... but decent malt some chocolate ... some sweetness in roast ... not best stout but a decent stout and a great pick by my uninformed sister. WHO gave me the best of my chrstmas presents 2 unexpected interesting beers.
