@yespr tasting. thanks a lot. cloudy brown, small white head. bitter hoppy aroma profile, alc. well hidden, malty base. flavor is quite yucky, very bitter , notes of gasoline, good malty base. the flavor is pretty disturbing to me though. red berries fruit skin bitterness sort of don’t work here.

Bottle 27,5 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a cloudy amber with a small and rough off-white head. Sweet and syrupy nose with some phenols and hops. Solid body, low carbonation, syrupy - almost mead-like - with a heavy hoppiness under the sugars. Fat hops in the finish. 050111

cloudy brown, small white head. strange aroma, sort of herbal , but not really, sort of dusty eggy if that makes any sense. strong yeast note (baking yeast). very strange. flavor is strong well balanced hoppy, malty balance, yeast flavor almost gone compared to aroma so actually tastes okay.

Bottle 27,5 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours an opaque deep golden with a tiny off-white head. The nose has sweet and intense fruit with some skewed British hops. Solid body, very low in carbonation, almost pours thick and sirupy. Sweet fruitiness. I believe there’s quite some IBUs in this but they’re buried a little under the syrupy sweetness. 050111

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Dark brown pour with a reddish tint and a tan head which soon vanishes. Light coffee aromas with hints of caramel, dark chocolate, raisins and cinnamon. Flavours of cream, caramel and coffee. Has a wood aged feel to it. Bitter-sweet mouthfeel. Sweet, malty finish. Tasty.
