Bottle @ Pre-Borefts tasting. Red-brown color, average sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, dark malts, bitter, malt bitter. Hmm to me it's rather thin in texture, heavy in alcohol and firm in carbonation, so I don't like it that much. 6-6-5-4-5=5.3 initially. -- Rerate 2021: definitely better. About a 7 now.
