Bottle at Barely Legal Tasting Room . Pours very unclear yellow. Good white head that is very resistant . Stays up quite a while even if I use a wet glass ( Against principles , I know ) Smell is intense . Robust hops, some grains . some faded wet-cardboard almost ( but not as bad) . I assume it is the yeast . Taste is straight up bitter, but in a good , hoppy way . Intense, full , but not too overpowering . In the back there is some rye, but it’s rather hidden to me . There definetly is an aromatic side here, but the bitterness is overpowering it, so its very difficult to put your finger on . Quite nice , not as complex as I hoped, and I like more aroma . But certainly not bad !

Leaking bottle. Opaque dark brown - black beer. Good bubbly pale tan head. Palate is airy and crisp and semi dry. Minerals, Mild dark malts with mild unsweet dark chocolate. Very light peppery spice. Hops are a very mild orange marmalade. Light dry finish. It’s an okay for a dark ale but very hop light for a CDA.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ Barley Legal Tasting Room. Thanks to Kraddel! Bottle dropped by said Kraddel onto the floor prior to opening, eh… The whole thing sprayed all over me & reached even the ceiling. Yeah… Orange / white head. Weak sweetish smell, faint orange, cookies, white sugar & yeast. Very bitter & dry aftertaste, otherwise chalky, yeasty, white sugar, spices. Still very fizzy despite treatment. I have had some pretty nice Elav beers but this one isn’t all that, messy, unbalanced & somewhat dull.

Bottle at barely legal tasting room . Bottle accidently dropped from ca 50 cm , started to gush out . Upon opening , the beer exploded . To thr celing in hight , to the wall 2 meters furter . With a quick reaction , i could pour some samplers . Eben though it dropped , such a damn explosion is not normal . Its like the Germans attacked !!! Pours unclear orange . No real head .smell is orangy . Too high carbo , way to high carbo .
