Bottle. Color: Dark murky brown, large frothy mocha head. Aroma: Malty, chocolate, sweetish. Taste: Dark malt, chocolate, hints of coffee, cane sugar, some caramel and lactose. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Medium sweet, light to moderate bitterness. Not exactly an Old Ale in my opinion. Ok overall.

Small whitish head over lively carbonated veiled golden beer. Sugary nose, cardboard, bit spicy. Spicy/herbal flavour, felt; very light-hoppy flavours. Underlying sweetness, corn-like. Finish shows a rather indifferent bitterness. Light body, certainly for 7.5% ABV. Good carbonation, very slick. Humpf. Txs to Stef!
