Dark brown with orange/red highlights. Aroma is pleasant malt, dough, brown sugar. Palate is thin with little taste other than some malt. Neutral finish. Very drinkable but not special.

Jun 22, 2008 500ml screw top bottle... classy! Anyway, pours clear, dark walnut with a fizzy beige head. Very sweet caramel nose, grassy and grainy. Light body. Sweet caramel and grain flavors, earthy and lightly chocolaty. A bit of dry bitterness in the finish, a touch of charcoal. Meh.

May 7, 2008 Dark mahogany color with a Garnet glint when held to the light. Moderate head of dried bone colored bubbles. Somewhat worty in scent with dark caramel, toasted malt, sweet roasted peanuts and waft of smoke. Very metallic from the first quaff. I feel like I am sucking on cubes of aluminum and iron, along with a 9 volt battery in my mouth. Some sweet caramel malt and mild acidity add to the mix. The acidity just builds and while creating a cleansing sensation, I fell my mouth is being sanitized. I could see cooking with this, but it’s not that much of a brew for sitting around with.

Apr 19, 2008 (screw cap bottle, courtesy of Koelschtrinker) Clear, dark brown colour with a medium-sized, not very persistent off-white foamy head. Slightly dusty, light-sweet and roasty malty nose, slightly burnt with a tinge of metal. Light-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Roast-malty taste with light burnt notes and a whiff of caramel; dry and moderately bitter finish with grassy and slightly metallic hops (16.04.08).
