Bottle. Brown color with beige head. Aroma is cocoa, green bell pepper, chocolate, quite aromatic, but not completely on point. Taste is cocoa powder, chocolate, a bit sweet, some coffee-ideas. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation.

sampled in a blind tasting with Dr. Beer. All beers served in black glassware, no mention of what beers we were drinking beforehand. Smell is medium intense, mild grassy/herbal/spiced hoppyness. bit peppery notes even ( yeast ? ) rather herbal overall. Taste is doughy, sweet ( malty ) rather thick decent bitterness. pretty heavy mouthfeel. not very refreshing. Sticky aftertaste, of maltose.

Almost no head but greyish-ochre rim; foxy brown-amber beer. Almonds, marzipan, sweet toasted malts, Belgian buns. Almonds, amandine, rosewater²; bit of parsley retronasal. Medium bodied, quite slick to even sticky. Again too sweet, certainly for a not overly strong Bock. If Bird had the same inspiration for the recipes as for their fantastic names, this brewery would shine above all. But alas... 5/4/6/3/12

Head gone in seconds, orange-copperish, clear beer. Caramel, almonds, frangipane. Smelling pretty sweet. Bitterish, almonds, frangipane, marzipan. Getting sweeter in time, but mainly a watery finish and empty MF. Low carbonation. Poor, uninspired brew. 5/4/3/10

Small, light yellowish head, irregular, over hazy yellow beer. Bit spicy, very demure nose. Wheat and grains, wet hazy, bit oxydized. Very restrained sweetness, but not much instead, even no wheat acidity. Quite spritzy feel, bit wheatslickness, not a lean texture but light body. Ho-hum. 5/4/6/3/11
