I got this on the flight after several other beers weren't available. If you use a QR code, please update your website menu! But it worked out well, because this was the best beer on the flight. Amber colour. Toasty malt on the nose and again on the palate. Moderate balancing bitterness. Clean. I mean it hits the style, but at the higher end. I got a pint and could have had more.

The hops aren't bad in this - a bit piney, a bit fruity. There's decent bitterness. But the malts aren't great and something happened with the fermentation because I get that burnt plastic thing you never want to get.

Light brown. Vague sweetish caramel. Kind of an amber or maybe a supermarket altbier. Either way, it's lacking anything special.

Toasty. A bit thin, and that goes for the flavours too. They don't come through with power, and I think that's because this lacks residual sugars and unfermented richness.

On tap at KBC, pours black / dirty dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is toasty, with toasted malt and a bit of earthy dry coffee. Flavour has a rather neutral malt profile, with toasted malt and soft bready notes. Neutral and lacking any character. Pretty lame.

On tap at KBC, pours a deep dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma reveals English bready malt and a touch of dry toasted toffee. Flavour is a bit tart, seemingly a bit off, with toasted bready malt and some gentle tartness. Not very convincing—not a great malt profile and doesn't seem to be dialled in quite properly. Meh.

On tap at KBC, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is fairly fruity, with stone fruits, piney hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and piney, with a good piney hops expression, stone fruit, and just enough sweet biscuity malt to back. Pretty happy with this—good balance and clarity.

On tap at KBC, pours a hazy dark rusted reddish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt and a fairly incompetent herbal yeast profile. Flavour has a nice bready malt profile, with toasted caramel and a touch of woody character. Malty and caramely, but with enough dryness. Good stuff.

On tap at KBC, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out cereal malt and straw. Flavour is herbal and grassy, with straw and bready malt. A bit too herbal, somewhat rotting. Not good.
