Dark Brown body with a brown edge, huge not to long lasting beige head; Very pleasant nose, even out of a quite bad glass (or maybe exactly because of that), coffee notes, wiped cream notes, light spicy, seductive, elegant and quite reserved; Very light, very well composed body, balanced and fresh and with a perfect fell to fit the dark malt bitterness the light alcohol; Finishes light and dark with very pleasant dark malt aromas that goes perfectly well with a light and dry crisp malt bitterness. Very surprising, very drinkable and very enjoyable beer!

bottle @ the brewery. pours brown, thick off-white head. aroma, similar to most of their brews, lots of esters giving a yeasty/banana nos, slightly on the more roasted and malty side as the rest of their beers., mild coffee and some fruits. flavors, same as nose, more pronounced roast, keeps a lingering full body of yeast and banana in the Hefe influence along with a moderate touch of coffee.
