Thanks Edo/bierkoning!
Clear deep amber color, good cloudy beige head. Aroma is very metallic and has herbal (oregano) hoppyness and wet woody notes (pencil, cellar). Light to medium bodied, crisp carbonation. Flavor is quite similar to aroma: iron, some caramel, wood and herbal hoppyness - hard mouthfeel. It is nice to have a traditional beer style, Dampfbier, but I can’t say that I would like to have it again.

Swing-top bottle. Sweet caramel malt and tart cherry aroma. Slightly hazy copper color with small head. Sweet caramel malt evenly blended with a dry cherry flavor. Unique - somewhat like a mix between a dunkel and a bock.
