Calanda Meisterbräu Luxusbier, 6% ABV
Blond color; nice head, but the perlage is absent, as often for Calanda. Very simple aroma, with a light character of Strong Lager (alcohol and candies fruitness). The mouthfeel is a bit oily, the alcohol is too evident; poor characterisitcs.

Dark amber color, huge creamy head. Easy aroma (paper, vanilla, caramel). Quite smooth, but the only remark is for some roasted malt (and well hidden some banana, malt). At the end shows a residual sweetness.
