Süffiger und aromatisch hopfiger Antrunk mit leichten Herbenoten, die sich später verstärken. Dabei bleibt der Hopfen aber gleich oder nimmt sogar ab, da er sich gegen eine deutliche Bitterkeit behaupten muss. Aromatisch, grasig, abgestimmt. Im Abgang grasigund süßlich bitter. /8/10/11//10

Draught at the brewpub. Weak smoky aroma. Clear dark copper colour. Small off-white head. The flavour is quite smoky as well, also malty and slightly sweet. I do not know if the smoke is intended, but it works well.

Draught at the brewpub. Mild dusty aroma. Clear yellow colour. Small white head. Good flowery aroma hop flavour. Clean bitterness. Good chalky flavour.

From tap at Zeitgeist. Pours clear and golden orange with a creamy and slight off-white head. Butterish and mild roasted malty aroma. Light caramel in the initial flavour. Vague buterish note too. Light smoke note on the back of the nose.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Very zippy, nice head. Tastes mild, modest spicy, zippy and fresh. Well balanced finish. Good beer!

Draught at Bruxellensis 2008, Brussels, Belgium
Clear amber body. Off-white, creamy/rocky head. Lightly smokey roma. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour with smokey ints. Nice, though not great.

On draft at Zeitgeist @ the Jolly Gardeners, Lambeth, 16/5/08. Chestnut coloured with a decent, foamy off-white head. Aroma of raisins, slightly smoky malt and a touch of caramel sweetness. Flavour was of slightly doughy malt, easy-drinking with more fruit, some earthy hops and spice and a touch of smoke in the finish. Excellent stuff.
