Champagne stout? Light, crisp and frothy but dark like a stout! Dark malt and a slight bitter dark malt finish. Different!

Warning! Early amateur rating! Startling! Complex beer with sacharrin sweet notes, a dry finish and a clear coca cola flavour and feel. Some herbal notes as well. Maybe the refrementation sugar is making this beer a bit off the beaten track!

Bottle, courtesy of OleR. A clear, golden beer with a small, white head. Fruity nose with some grains and a hint of cellar. Sweet flavor, fruity and slightly cellar-ish. White sugar, hints of rubber and not enough bitterness. Medium body, smooth. Low on bitterness in the end. A beer that isn’t completely clean, but quite nice anyway. 100820
