330ml bottle. Opaque, darkest brwon colour with huge, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, ochre-ish, tan head. Slightly chocolately, dark malty and minimally spicy aroma, a touch of vanilla and coffee, dark chocolate, weak, woody, oaky overtones with very light, bretty, funky aspects. Taste is dry and bitter, roasty dark malty, slightly spicy, diluted hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, mocha, a minimally mineral and tart-ish woody, almost funky, oaky touch. Watery texture, dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. A bit weird, maybe even infected - not really enjoyable, especially due to the rather unpleasant wood flavours.

0.33 l can from 'Etre Gourmet', best before July 2023. A little hazy, ruby with a massive, dense, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, a little fruity aroma of caramel, nuts and hints of red fruits. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity taste of caramel, nuts, some red fruits and traces of pine, followed by a short, gently bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, smooth but quite effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Beer in the glass light golden, huge head. Malty-moldy aroma. Starts mild, malty, interesting fruity touch of grape, lemon, mild sweetness. Finish well balanced. Some herbal notes as well. Interesting!

Can 330ml (Prisma Sikupill)
A bit cloudy amber-orange colour, small white head. Herbal, light juniper aroma in the nose. Light-bodied. Crisp, malty, grassy hops and nice kick from juniper. Liked it.

Smell- weak malt, weak roast, faint caramel. Foam- weak citrus, weak malt, weak sourness. Head is largew, medium-dark brown color. Appearance- generic black bottle cap, simple label. Black color, no carbonation. From - pint Taste- weak malt, weak sourness, weak acidic tones, some bitterness. Feels a bit messy, due to the sour factor. Not for me.

Clear brown beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, hay, barn yard, cow fodder, some ripe banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: malty start, good roast, quite some alcohol, ripe banana, very yeasty. Aftertaste: more roast, malty, raw grains, All-Brann, cow fodder, malty, grains, very rural, but not getting any of that vanilla or oak? Rather disappointing result, if you know the setup.
