35cl can from Drink Shop, Tallinn. Pours very dark, close to black with a rather small, beige to brown head. Aroma of dark malts with dark chocolate, coffee, some roasty notes and hints of dark fruits. Moderate sweet with quite nice dark malty flavours and a nice and balanced bitterness. Slightly boring and thin, but still quite nice. Easy drinking porter.

Can from Thirsty, Singapore
Cloudy blond color with generous head. Pleasant IPA with some sweaty hop aroma, caramelly flavor, robust bitterness, but nothing special.

33 cl can @ Pudel
Aroma is sweet with fruit juice - perhaps passionfruit? Flavour is a bit messy and yeasty with fruity and grassy hops. Feels like a well hopped saison. Refreshing and good.

Can, shared by Roman, many thanks. Almost black colored beer with medium dark beige head. Strong aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste, roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, coffee sourness in finish. Good.

Draft - Oak, caramel and malty sweetness. Cloudy brown no head. Caramel, brown sugar, red wine and oak. Very nice, oak adds to the flavor rather than competes.

Hazy amber color, small white head dissapears quickly. Smell is floral, caramel and hops. Medium carbonation. Taste is fruity, caramel, sweetness, hops, even some dark chocolate bitterness and hints of spices(?). Overall: pleasant surprise, really interesting taste.

Aroma: intense wheat, some fruits, some spiciness. Color: very lightly hazy, almost clear golden. It has small white head, which dissapears immediately. The appearence is nothing like what I expect from witbier! Taste: intense sweetness and wheat; orange and spices in the finish. Lively carbonation. Overall: not very typical for belgian wheat. The appearance is really dissapointing, beside that the beer itself isn’t bad.
