330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Weak, slightly fruity hoppy and caramel malty aroma, unspecific fruitiness, leafy whiffs of tobacco. Taste is leafy, bitter hoppy, caramel malty basis without residual sweetness, a touch of tobacco. Slightly oily texture, dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Quite restricted, not really flattering flavours, decent bitterness - not appealing.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, amber colour with unnecessarily huge, frothy, moderately to mostly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, slightly bready, wheaty malty and yeasty fruity, slightly yeasty spicy and minimally doughy aroma, notes of banana, hints of baked banana, a touch of clove, whiffs of cinnamon. Taste is peppery yeasty spicy, sweet-ish, slightly bready, wheaty malty and minimally yeasty fruity, diluted hints of unripe banana, some clove and pepper. Watery texture, minimally dry palate, medium to coarse, lively carbonation. Nice (and promising) aroma, therefore unsatisfying taste, way overcarbonated - meh!

Aus der Flasche (bbe 31.01.2024) im 2023-03 getrunken. In der Nase eine tolle Cassis Note auf Karamell. Am Gaumen kommt dann die deutlichen Aromen von schwarze Tee (Assam) durch, die duch die in Rum getränkten Holzchips mit ihrer eine feinen Süße sehr gut ausbalanciert werden. Neben diese spanennden Aromakombinationen macht au0erdem das cremige Mundgefühl echt Spaß im Glas.

330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Herbal and dark malty, minimally woody aroma, notes of black tea, a touch of dried fruit, flavoured tobacco with rum and plum aspects. Taste is sweet-ish, dark malty and minimally dry, herbal, woody, notes of black tea, a touch of dark caramel, oak, rum. Slightly creamy texture, smooth and slightly dry palate, medium, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Some nice flavours due to the adjuncts - decent.

Bottle from craft beer shop, drunk whilst a pizza cooks, after a marathon 2 parent bedtime session due to kindergarten naps and daylight savings. Get rid of it for crissakes! Super dark beer the head is huge and medium brown. Nose is distinctly molasses/rum. Really interesting flavor, slightly rummy with a roasted malt flavor, not a common combination. There's some other weird stuff going on in there which I can just identify as tea due to having read the label. Moderate earthy bitterness. In the end it's got a bit too much going on and it doesn't really all mesh together.
