Sampled at Billies day 1. Clear amber color, average sized white to off-white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, light caramel notes, distant raisins, distant nutty notes, oak wood, pleasant bitters. Very balanced, very good. 8-8-8-9-8,5

Very nice for an NA. Some toasted grain, mild citrus, biscuits, herbal hops, a little caramel note. Faintly earthy-rindy finish. Highly drinkable.

Draught Head gone in seconds over virtually black beer. Expressly alcoholic, almost spirit-like nose. Dark malts drowned in ethanol. Sweet, raisiny. Dark berries or plums on alcohol. Feels rather well-bodied, no alcoholthinning to find, if not very carbonated. Bit sticky. Feels surprisingly... strong...? Must be some Caledonian form of humour. When I read "plain dark lager", I expect something as a Czech tmavý or a Dunkel. Not some alcoholbomb.

Tap at Billies. Black with dark brown head. Massive chocolate, whisky, roasted malts, licorice, coffee, blackberries, toffee. Super fruity and tasty. Full thick swret, medium bitter. Super thick full bodied. Incredible.
