Draft. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and fruit, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle. Bay leaf, tomato, fish sauce nose. Dark brown. More like soup than beer. Herbal, spice, vegetal. I hate this.
