Dark brown with very substantial head, which reduces mostly but doesn’t completely disappear. Sweet malt, almost toffee, on the nose. Tastes of honeyed wheat. Medium bodied, creamy texture and refreshing finish. Overall, a very pleasant easy-drinking beer, if not overly exciting.

Bottled. A dark golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has insanely notes of ginger on a light malty background. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of ginger on a malty background, leading to a dry ginger finish. The body is light. Too much ginger for my liking.

Bottle: Very dark amber - but not black - coloured; stable off-white foamy layer with a monor lacework; dryish roasty-caramelly nose with a metallic and a peaty tinge; moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, a bit sticky; bitter toasty finish, rounded by a caramelly touch. Not bad, but all in all a mediocre brew.....
