0,33 l bottle purchased at their brewpub. BB 23.01.26. Cloudy yellow golden in the glass, small white foamy head. Sweet citrus and pale grain on the nose. Taste is corn grainy, light, with some citrus, salzty shot, little bit cardboardy. Low bitterness, low carbonation. Not a beer for my generation.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with small, creamy, diminishing, minimally lacing, beige head. Roasty, dark malty aroma, hints of maple syrup, toffee, dark caramel. Taste is roasty, dark malty, notes of maple syrup, dark caramel, some coffee, toffee, whiffs of liquorice, low residual sweetness, some hop bitterness.
Slightly creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well controlled sweetness, not overly complex - OK.

Bottle at MONYO, courtesy of Koelschtrinker, thanks a lot! Pours an opaque, somewhat murky orangeish golden with a white head. Nose is peach and raspberry, mildly tart. Taste is low to low-mid tartness, it's a big fruit bomb, there's peach and berries as well. Jammy, intense. Closes with a tart, fruity finish, has a light body and soft carbonation. Not as sour as I expected but it's pretty refreshing with a lovely fruit character. Nice.

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a small head. Fine malty spicy aroma. Starts mild, modest dry, fine bitter background. Some lemon hints. Light herbal touch as well. Interesting one!

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass dark brown, almost black. Nice head. Mild malty roasty aroma. Starts mild, malty, shy roasty. Some hints of sweet chocolate, not too intense. Finish with a mild bitter touch. Well balanced and quite drinkable. Nice!
