Rich roasted sweet malt aroma, with some nice toasted nuttiness. Mouthfeel is quite rich and creamy, with some dark coffee roastiness and caramel, with a bit of dark fruits as it warms. Smooth, but still very creamy and clean.

The beer pours out a dark rootbeer brown color with a minimal soapy off-white head. Nearly zero head retention. Aroma is lightly vinous, some dirty penny, earthy, and a bit of light smokey toasted bread note. Flavor is light twangy malts, a bit earthy, a touch of raisins and toffee but all in all it’s very weak. Lightbodied and watery palate. The tongue feels like it’s been tenderized a bit after drinking (a touch numb). Easy to drink.

Bottle. Herbal, light roasted aroma.Chestnut, brpwn lacing cappucino head. Lightbodied and omewhat weak: Light roast, a bit citric and herbal, low on roast and alt berry notes - lacks refinement and substance. Quick finish - quaffable.

mahogany color with a very small khaki head. sour earth aroma, thin to medium body with light full bubbles. tastes mostly of earthy toffee malt with a sourness that carries a hint of lemon, dry and a light bitterness to the sweet.

From a 500 ml. euro bottle with no freshness date. Poured a reddish hued brown with a small foamy, bubbly topped head that quickly settled into a fine bubbly lacing. Aromas of cocoa and caramel with a light breadiness, a soft fruitiness and a tad floral. Moderate carbonation and a softly crisp, dryish, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Tastes of lightly roasted malts, powdery cocoa, caramel and toffee, a hint of nuttiness, a subtle, almost sour, fruitiness, a very soft earthy spiciness, just enough hops to let you know that they there, a slight grain breadiness appears towards the end, and a dry, watery malty finish. Easy drinkability, but I could have used more in the roasted malty department, kinda flat, thin tasting.

Dusty gold. Rather fat and buttery, really quite herbal stuff, a mite smoky. Oddly rich, like weedy toffee.

Had some toffee notes with a bit of soured acidic fruitiness to it. Not bad but wont be buying it .

amber brown color,light tan head,malty aroma,caramel maybe a bit of toffee with a slight burnt side.Malty taste with a slight metallic side with a mild hop and caramel showing.Very nice brew.

A simple, tasty beer. Some smoke in the aroma. Flavor is simple malt; some of it roasted. Unexpected combination of full flavor on a very thin palate.
