Golden colour with no head. It's really bland and a bit stale. Not at all zesty. Tastes like old cardboard

Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a deep ruby colour with a medium sized creamy beige head. Aromas of dark fruits, berries, caramel, nuts and toasted malts. Taste has more of the same notes from the aroma, caramel, red fruits, berries and nuts. Malty with a roasty, toasty and earthy bitterness on the finish. Medium to full body, hardly any carbonation and very smooth mouthfeel. Really liking this beer. Excellent.
