0.75l corked bottle #120/130 shared with The Tasting Crew. This one pours a crystal clear deep deep amber colored body under a nice medium sized lingering and lacing just off-white head. Sweet diacetyl nose with traces of sweet roasted caramel, a mild peaty smokiness and hints of some red berries in the back. It's not over-anything but still not mine kind of aroma really. Fair. Tastes also mild peaty and smoked. Not ashtray, but still a decent amount of peat. Light oily in the mouth and it's about average on the carbonation. Light cardboard, burnt caramel, some grainy hints in the back. A little warming alcohol in the aftertaste. Hard time seeing what kind of genre this is, but it's definitely drinkable. Not very good, but drinkable. 08.10.2014

0.33l clear bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. It doesn't look too horrible this. A nice little quickly fading off-white / light beige colored head over a ruby-bronze colored crystal clear body. On the nose it has a decent dark caramel sweetness combined with traces if grains and something mild earthy metallic. Not a horrible aroma. Just above average on the near growing carbonation and it had a decent light oily feeling in the mouth. A bit thin on the taste. Slightly mineralish, lots of cardboard with more earthy nutty hints. Slightly dusty also in a way. Dry tail with a hint of something avidic. Not horrible actually, but no way this is a amber. 08.10.2014

Big slightly fizzy-creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly floral, weeds, flowers, yeast, grain, wet grass, cellar, hay, sugar, alcohol. Taste is sweet, sugar, grain, hay, paper, weeds, flowers, grass. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh mouthfeel. Fair enough, kind of disappointing.
