Slight haze. Dark amber, with a thin head. Good dose of smoke on the nose, with some caramel sweetness. On the palate, I like the beech...weyermann I assume...the malts are coming across more toffeeish and then the alcohol slides in. While I'd prefer more malt richness, it's still worth a seidla or two.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a deep dark amber : mahogany with a small off-white head. Aroma has rich caramel malts, some dark dried fruits, and a tiny hint of smoke. Flavour is much smokier, with rich caramel malt, bready notes, a touch of dark fruits, and a lovely peated malt character. Deep, complex, peated malts. This is most excellent.

5oz pour at The Magnet. Pours clear amber with a white head. Tons of ashy charcoal and burnt caramel on the nose. Flavour has a dry caramel malt base with an excellent smoky quality that is light but strong. This is very well done.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Aroma of bready pale malt, grapefruit and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready caramel malt, grapefruit, apricot, cantaloupe and pine resin in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and easy to drink.

Poured from 473mL can. Very dark brown with small beige head. Lots of roast malt on the nose, mostly a roast malt forward brew with some very feint salty green kelp notes in the background (like those you would find in a side dish at a Korean restaurant).

On tap at Luppolo, pours a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is restrained, with light spicy grassy hops, straw, and a touch of biscuity malt crispness. Flavour reveals the nice spicy hop bite from the Saaz, with a crisp crackery malt base. Nice Saaz hopping here—they didn’t skimp. Crisp and biting finish. Good stuff.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is clean, with light grassiness, straw, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp and clean, with straw and some mild toasted grains. There’s not much character to this, but I guess that’s the point. A clean micro pale lager, but uninteresting.

6oz mlíko pour pour at the brewery. Pours murky brown with a light beige head. Rye bread on the nose. Flavour has dark chocolate, light nuts, rye bread, and a touch of figs. Sweetness is there in the background. Solid body. This is a complex dark lager that is consistently enjoyable.

6oz pour at the brewery. Pours clear gold with a foamy white head. Caramel malts and herbal grass on the nose. Flavour has dry, herbal grass and biscuit malts. Dry finish with a fairly thick body for the style. There is a chewy/yeasty aspect of it that does detract, but otherwise it's quite good.
