Bottle @ Brugmansia/Fonefan Tasting, April 2010. Pours clear amber with a creamy white head. Grain, perfume and paper. Flavor has a bit of alcohol, caramel, bread and fruit. Medium to watery palate.

Light brown. Very worty, a little chewy. Boring macro dark with very little flavour. A shame - regular Beer Lao is nice when fresh but this stuff holds little promise.

(Bottle) Pours a chestnut brwon body with a medium beige head. Aroma of dried fruit and toasted malt. Flavor of malt, cocoa, and a hint of fruit.
