(Bottle, 0.5 l, thanks VastActiv, at Arde, 20221021) The beer poured pale golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had cardboard, sweetness and paper. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were solvent, paint thinner, sweetness and low bitterness. Aftertaste had solvent and bitterness. Quite awful.

Armenian 'tmavý' or Dunkel brewed in the country's capital. Medium thick, moussy, pale yellow-beige, opening head on a clear deep caramel brown beer with warm copper red glow - seemingly a bit paler and more 'red' than is typical for a Dunkel. Aroma of caramel candy, rusty iron, plum jam, cookie dough, sugared tea, rosehip, liquorish touch (oddly), even a faint whiff of chocolate. Clean onset, sweet maltiness with a light sourish edge, medium carb, slick and thinnish body; smooth caramelly malts with cookie- and brown-bread like side notes as well as something vaguely liquorish-like retronasally; a mellow toasty bitterish edge, mixed with a dash of herbal, tea-ish hops appears in the finish, along with a spicy, almost peppery accent. The caramelly sweetness and smoothness prevails, though, and a less pleasant metallic effect is very persistent as well. Not the worst Dunkel I had, actually, smooth and simple but effective, though of course at the same time an industrial beer with a less flattering metallic aspect to it - still, better than expected, to be honest.

Bottle: pours pale gold with white head. Aroma is metal, cardboard and bad grain. Taste of unpleasant cardboard. Poorly conceived.

10/IX/22 - 50cl bottle from a trade, shared @ Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (Gent), BB: 15/III/23 (2022-1146) Thanks to Libor for the trade!
Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, some caramel. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very watery, malty, a bit metallic, grains, hay, cow fodder. Aftertaste: metallic, hay, grains, soft roast, decent enough for a dark lager, but not really good.

50cl bottle at Belgian Beergeeks/Brewver summer tasting at Tim's house. Thanks Tim. BB 15/03/2023.
Cuivre, col crémeux fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme garde une touche classique, retrouve ce côté classique dans ce genre de pays. Rétro sur un côté dense en grains, presque d'avoine. Caramel et un houblonné classique noble.
Palais est malté avec une belle note de caramel (voire un peu doux), caramel le tout ayant ce côté houblonné allemand versant sur le noble. Garde une touche de céréales.
