Wässriger, süß hefiger Antrunk. Leider eher wässriger als intensiver im Mittelteil, kurz ist die Herbe führend, dann wieder wässrig und langweilig. 7/9/7/7/8/7

Small bottle courtesy of Ippopotamo with a red wax cap(2014) shared at the Dark Beer Tasting in Osaka. Winter king From Sabaja Brewery pours a muddy brown. Smoke, toe jam and fruity nose. The taste is decent, smoke, metallic, caramel malts but the body is too thin. Most people thought it was pretty good and better than expected.

Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him and others. Murky orange/amber coloured, minimal off-white head, dusty honeyish nose. Malty, light caramel, fruity hoppy and notes of honey with sweetish finish. Almost half year after BBE date. So when I find it fresh I’ll rerate it.

Bottle from trade, thanks ippoppotamo! 6.3% a beautiful label and cool stubby bottles from which pours this copper elixir. A big foamy light beige head follows that gives off aromas of fruity Brett funk but alas not much discernible hops. Medium tongue scraping IPA type body. I get metallic, fruits, and an intense bitterness. Tastes like Brett, is this a Belgian IPA? Or infected? Anyways an ok beer but not really much of an American style IPA though - Kabinet is much better. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Huge thanks to Alberto and Matt for getting this and Milan and Andrej for helping it get to us. Shared with Ogi, heavy and Hrabren. Brown-black body with a small, thick off white head. Caramel assault in the aroma, empty caramel taste. Very, very llgiht bitterness. Smoked? Hardly. Tastes like an ordinary dunkel. Cute label and concept at least. Guess I have to rerate it.

Again, past BB date, and will be rerated. Thanks Matt, Alberto, Milan and Andrej! :D Poured a dark murky/misty amber body with a small head. Initially a plastic-like yeastiness hit me, but it was thankfully gone immediately, leaving some honeyish maltiness there. Honeyish taste with some citric notes going into a solid herbal bitterness in the finish and the aftertaste. Hmm... probably fine enough fresh.
