Comments: Toasty take on the style with less yeast work than most. Rather sour breadiness is most of it. Besides, spicy and fruity.

Brown and hazy. Malty with some chocolate, some hoppy bitterness and above all yeast and spice. Not too sweet and not that much fun.

Bottled. A hazy orange-amber-brown beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and lighter touches of brown sugar and wheat. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and brown sugar. Not as complex as I’d like.
