Bottle [from trade with ShivanDragon I believe, thanks!] @ home. Hazy dark amber to red-brown color, medium to full sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, caramel, slightly a hint of nuts, lightly leaves, lightly hops, firm bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. Not bad at all. Very pleasant brown ale.

Bottle at Café De Toeter, Groningen, Netherlands, Sunday 4th October 2015. Pours dark brown with a thin beige rim. Sweetish but with a spicy and bitter edge. A little boozy chocolate, and whilst a zing of fresh hops is noted it is a big malty beer first and foremost. Good. A7 A3 T8 P4 Ov14 3.6
