Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and alcohol. The flavor is sweet iwth notes of malt and alcohol, leading to a dry finish where notes of straw and alcohol lingers.

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy golden with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, butter and alcohol. Medium body with a low carbonation, some caramel notes and only a subdued bitterness in the finish. Very hot and boozy though. More of a Malt Liquor really. 290608

RBESG2008: 33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a creamy white head. Light spiced and grainy aroma. Flavour is sweet malty with a light spiced note. Solid alcohol too. Ends spiced and alcohol dense.

Bottled@10%. Thanks omhper! Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is hay and raisins along with some bready hints. Flavour is very much alcohol, some grass and mild fruits in a rather unpleasant mix. Unbalanced.

Bottled. Lightly hazy pale bronze colour, minimal head. Aroma of toffee and cognac. Sweet and caramelly, alcohol is evident as is an interesting pear flavour. Less full bodied than anticipated, rather low on hops. salty almost woody finish. A warming barley wine typical for the Argentinian micros.

Bottle, 10%. Sweet vegetable aroma. Hazy dark golden colour. Very small stable white head. The flavour starts off with some rough bitterness, hint of caramel. Quite some vegetable in the flavour as well. Nowhere near good enough considering the ABV.
