2l-bottle from the brewery. Looks really good. Beer in the glass with a huge head. Starts mild but not washy. Grainy notes, mild sweetness. Some hints of cookies. Finish well balanced, soft-malty. Mild sweetness. Quite drinkable. Nice one!

Brown with a frothy head. Campfire and toffee aroma. Woody undertones. Taste is mildly smoked bitter the whole way through. Medium-bodied, moderate to mild carbonation. Not a lot of complexity, but pleasant.

Big thank you to kappldav123 for this 0,5 l bottle. A darkest red brown in the glass, one finger foamy pale beige head. Malty smell, increasing plum fruity, sweetness. Taste is also intenive malty, dark fruity, sweetness, some wood in the background. Little bit alcoholic. Low carbonation. I like this stuff.
