Pinball Profile

clear dak brown with a creamy large smooth light brown head.
dry roasted malty aroma, fruity nutty notes, faint licorice. if there is wood and booze here, it's pretty faint
Flavor is very good, lots of roasted malts attenuated with a tiny bit of smoed malts, making it good but not overly bitter, end is roasted malty bitter and coffee bitter. tiny bit of dark caramel, there is a note that could be from he booze, its a bit like dark caramel, but more liqueorish. I took a sip specifically looking for wood, and there is a note, not that sublte, that is a bit similar to cedar wood - so not the usual woody note i was looking for. so the beer might have quite a bit of wood, just not the kind we usually see in beer. the ntire composition is quite interesting and unique and fairly well tasting, certanly worth the few euros i handed over in the supermarket.

3.9/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 3.5 Flavor 3 Texture 6 Overall 3.5

clear yellow, huge light yellow to offwhite head.
faint aroma of dough primarily, super faint sort of wheaty fruity notes.
flavor is mild, soft, buttery, slighlty sweet caramelly, palate is soft in a way that does not fit a lager. end is petering out with no flavor.
only thing it has going for it, is the velvety water treatment, but with the flavors , it comes off as flat beer rather than something smooth.
Not at all up to font salem's usual standards for cheap supermarket beers.

Toro Amber Ale (Sherry Cask - Oloroso) from Cerveza Mica

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6

clear amber,white head
malty ale aroma with clear notes of wood and sherry. fairly balanced, quite complex. some fruity notes, i think some notes from nyeast even
flavor is a bit less interesting with sherty and wood dominating over a fairly boring and industrially tasting amber ale. the kind of beer where you can taste the alcohol. however, for a supermarket beer this is very okay.
