Bottled. Golden colour with a mediumsizedwhite head. Aroma is grainy, some citrus and quite earthy tones. Flavour is grassy, mild parfumed soapy tones with some earth and mild grains to it. Bulkish feel, sadly.

Thanks to jbrus for sharing this New Zealand beer. Milk chocolate and cacao in the aroma. Chocolate flavor with some blackberry. Malty. Rather thin. Long watery chocolatemilk aftertaste. A bit simple but very likeable beer.

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts and nuts. Fairly light in body - actually a little watery. Lightly sweet malts before a dry finish. Unspectacular. 300108

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, dark brown beer with a tint of orange. Small, dissipating light brown head. Smoke in the nose, smoke in the flavour atop a thinnish body. Burned, malty notes - like in a Scotch. Some underlying notes of sweetness. I’d say this comes a lot closer to a Scottish Ale. 140106

Bottled #6313 (BB 01/2006)
Pale golden, good foamy white head. Hoppy, same time harsh, a bit rubbery nose. Mildy hoppy, some malts, harsh bitterness like in some cheap lager.

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy golden beer with a very small head. Lightly hoppy, floral nose. Incredibly dry and fresh with a rather pronounced bitterness in the finish. Medium body. No less than three malts and three hops. 110705

Clear dark brown color, short dying brown head. Aroma is malty, chocolat, bit coffee. Bitter, fruity, bit licorice in the taste. Quite unbalanced however and thin.
