Bottle at Ratebeer München Tasting Tuesday 31st January 2023. Aroma is a little dusty but nothing negative other than this on the aroma. Pours mid amber, soft caramel in the mouth, a good maltiness throughout, even a little light bitterness, good.

Bottle. Clear amber color with white head. Aroma is mildly buttery, a bit tart, caramel. Taste is earthy, toffee, mildly buttery again. Chewy mouthfeel, natural carbonation. Not bad, though the smell is close to being rancid.

Bottle picked up from Landbierparadies Webshop, Nürnberg and consumed at home Sunday 22nd January 2023 listening to Billy Nomates - Cacti. We are cooking Pastitsi with a Focaccia bread and Greek Salad and Guinness Brownies and Nick, Anna Charlie and Sarah have arrived. Pours mid gold with a white head pleasant fruitiness, maltiness and expected sweetness is a little more restrained than expected. Some grassy hops, subtle bitterness with a little honey. Not bad, but also not especially memorable.
