Hefiger, leicht säuerlich hefiger Beginn. Moderat malzig, feinherb, wenig würzig. Konstant hefig, die Säure nimmt etwas ab, mittellanger Abgang. Okay, unsicher, ob die leichte Säure gewollt ist. 10/7/9/8/10/8

Yes, again a 0,33 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! Cloudy dark brown in the glass with a more than one finger beige head. Choco malty smell. Taste starts also with choco, sweet malt, some berry fruits. Low to no carbonation. Creamy. Stoutish. Some dry coffee to the end. Really nice.

Many thanks to David! Fruity nose of hibiscus. The beer starts very fruity. Dry with a very fruity light body. The beer has hints of sourness, fruity with nice sour refreshing pomegranate with a pinch of salt. Very nice.
