Sampled @ ZBF 2016. (Thank you for sharing RB people!) Clear golden. Nose is very empty & hugely metallic with some vegetable oil & butter. Taste is rubbish metallic sweet corn with some butter, chemical, very metallic body. Not good. Oddly I found the Hop version better than this or at least not this flawed. Subpar bottle, possible, there appear to be noticeable issues with this brewery. I remember that this brewery used to be glorified home brewing & I wouldn’t be surprised if it is still, quality control might be hard here, these guys website looks like hasn’t been changed since the 1990s.

Sampled @ ZBF 2016 (Thank you for sharing BE RB CREW!) Dark brown amber, tanned head. Oily vegetable nose with heavy licorice & leaves. Herbal thick umami, dull leaves taste, low powdery cacao. Thick licorice & some umami notes obscure a lot, not too good in general but this brewery definitely makes way worse beers than this.

*Old rating. Best before 04/2012. Smooth fresh body. Sweetish, round and fresh. Smooth, alcoholic and yeasty-spicy. Nice but too sharp alcoholic.
