Draught at CBF Wien.
Amber, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, off-white head.
Aroma of honey, apricot, citrus, slight tropical fruits, some biscuit.
Tastes of citrus, apricot, honey, orange, some tropical fruits, some bread.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes bitter, zesty, fruity, malty.
Very nice. Very fruity, almost juicy, but also with lovely honey notes. At the same time never too sweet. Really enjoyable, sessionable Pale Ale.

Hazy orange color with white head. Citrusy, apricots, piney. Light malt body, light bitterness in the aftertaste. Refreshing, but could be better. Okay!

Tap at brewer’s stand in Stara Trznica, Bratislava. Unclear orange golden color with medium white head. Oranges, zest, pines, apricots in aroma. Taste, solid malty base followed by nice hoppy bitterness with oranges, tangerines, tropical fruits, zest, pines. There was something strange in background. Medium long fruity hoppy bitter finish. Far better than previous version.

Poured from a bottle courtesy of my Secret Santa. Aroma is really bad and reminds me of sewage or manure with a strong poopy note to it. I guess there is some chocolate, roast and other notes in the background. I am afraid to drink this. Pours dark brown to black with a small, moderately thick, dark tan head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Moderately low lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with some moderate chocolate and light roast notes upfront. This quickly fades and the flavor takes on the character of the aroma with sewage and rotting vegetables. I am not sure where this beer went wrong, but it is really bad. Some light spicy cinnamon notes, but no vanilla. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium low carbonation. Low, but present astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, this is the worst beer I have ever had and it was hard to rate as I was only able to choke down two sips. The flavor is slightly better than the aroma but both are putrid. The smoked malts have interacted with the vanilla and the cinnamon in a bad way.

330 ml bottle #128/300, shared by Gurthnar at RB Tasting Vienna March Edition. Thanks!
Dark brown body, with a big, creamy, beige head.
Aroma of smoke, ash, rubber, barnyard.
Taste is very dry-ashy, with smoke, coffee, dark fruits, liquorice.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes smoky, ashy, roasty, dry.
Didn’t like the strange nose much, but otherwise an interesting, unique Stout. Very very ashy, which I like, but maybe even too dominant, so that I didn’t notice the vanilla or cinnamon in the taste at all.

330 ml bottle shared by Gurthnar at RB Tasting Vienna March Edition. Thanks!
Orange, hazy body, with a small, creamy, white head.
Strange aroma of cooked vegetables, dough, Chinese sweet-sour sauce, grapefruit, stone fruits.
Tastes of dough, grass, slight pine, some stone fruits, grapefruits, slight biscuit.
Medium, quite oily mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, zesty, with dough and grass.
Quite weird beer, especially the nose. Enjoyed the taste more, although a bit flat. Overall good, but lacks balance in my opinion.
