500ml bottle. Clear ruby red glowing dark amber colour with extremely huge, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Aroma has notes of toasted malt. Taste is grainy, earthy, hints of toasted mald, rye, rye bread, a touch of red and blue berries, juniper berry, moss; prickling, lively carbonation. Has, earthy and malt dominated as it is, nothing to do with an (American) Amber Ale, resembles more a (traditional) Mild Ale; unusual lively to fizzy carbonation.
