On tap @ARTBEERFEST 2017. Aroma with fruity notes from fermentation, slight solvent and malt (very faint maillard and underattenuated malty caramel). Dark âmbar color and clear. Medium-thin beige head with low retention. Taste similar to the aroma with a sweet and underattenuated malt presence. Slight yeast notes. Medium body with médium carbonation. A Wee Heavy a bit "green".

Dark brown with quick fading head. Aroma is quite nutty and roasted. Flavour has sweet dark malts. Something unusual in the background. Something floral maybe.

Dark brown with no head. Aroma and flavour have tonnes of malts. Really rich and full bodied. Loads of malt sweetness. Low carbonation.

TASTE: similar to the aroma with cheesy flavor (isovaleric), slight cereal husk and a slight orange-like note. high bitterness with a harsh finish. unbalanced.
