Foxy-dark amber colour; no head. Smokey, woody chocolate aromas. There’s some fruity esters as well. Fruity, mild chocolated, praliné stuffing, roasted almonds. There’s a point of acidity, but I cannot find all these fruits that OBER does. Rather light bodied for a reasonably strong beer, quite smooth, a bit undercarbonated.
