Dark amber / light ruby with fast disappearing head. Subtle nose: floral with caramel, dark bread. Strong caramel and bread taste notes too, full bodied medium carbonation, tastes boozy. Long dark malts and dry bitter finish. Interesting see it is made out of old bread and sesame. Good but the finish is a bit too malty: more hops would have made this better IMO.

Tap at BGB with Gurthnar. Bit hazy yellow-golden body, off-white head. Almost dank herbal, citric, pinrapple hoppy aroma, on a decent light sweetish malty background. Soft, flat, lean, dry taste, mainly strong herbal notes mixing with pineapple, medium herbal dull hoppy bitterness. Okay.

Thin body, not watery tho. Highish carbo. Med-light bitter, low sweet, quite dry. Malt in background, med-med-light hops, could use more cojones. Med-light dank-citrusy mix, a but lemony, grassy. Good, easy drinking.

Dark amber nearly clear, with quickly dissipating head. Restrained piney nose with apricot and some pineapple notes. Solid texture, good carbonation.Citrus piney up front staying towards the mid range. Lingering hoppy bitterness. More a pale than an IPA. Maybe just about an IPA. Drinkable but not exciting.

Almost clear pale yellow with a quickly and thoroughly dissipating head. Caramel on the nose, pear drops, slightly oaky, kandi sugar, toast, coriander. Almost Belgian. Very slight vegetal background hint. Nice if a little thin on the palette. Again caramel, vanilla, pear, slight sweetness. Nice up to mid range but falls off leaving a slightly watery impression. The hops remain noticeable. Not bad.

19/XII/25 - 33cl bottle, shared @ Tim’s Big Country Tick Tasting And More (home), BB: 2/X/26 (2025-1398) Thanks to Koelschtrinker (?) for sharing the bottle!

Clear orange gold beer, small big bubbled layer, not a real head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: all coffee, nothing else, maybe some mocha, more coffee, bleh. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very malty, caramel, all coffee, sweet, gentle roast. Aftertaste: more coffee, caramel, mocha, sweet, just more coffee, meh. Not bad, but I’m just no coffee guy. So I’ll be generous with the scores.
