Bottle - Clear deep dark chestnut body with a big lasting head; Excellent nose, super complex with an excellent balanced fruity sourness with the fill of the dark sugars right behind; The body doesnt have as much to offer as the nose, it is a little to innocent with only a slight lactic bite and a little to full dark sugar sweetness; Long finish with some character, great balance between sweet and sour parts and quite a bit of very well fitting aromas, sweet and green apples accompanied by warm sugar notes. Very, very pleasant.

Clear deep amber color with a foamy well lasting tanned head. Vinegar sourish aroma with a good woodyness, some cheesy hints and a nice balance between sweet- and sourness. Balsamic sourish flavor backed up by a sweet note of brown sugar. Not too sweet, but very good balanced amount of sugar. Not an easy faro - like most - bot more challenging. A great surprise and probably the best bottled faro I have had. And the faro to put me back on 100% for the style :-)

Bottled (thanks tbone_!). Deep amber colour with small off-shite head. Aroma is sourness along with burnt sugar. Flavour is some wooden sourness along with burnt sugar and some mild fruityness.

Bottle. Copper colour. Clear. Aroma is sweet and little yeasty. Also rubber, candy and syrup. Flavor is quite the same. Normal carbonation and medium dry finish.

Very dark brown. No head. Candyish nose - toffeeish and almost liquoricey. Quite sweet and sugary up front with some caramelized notes. Yet, some barnyardy complexity remains. It’s very drinkable.

Courtesy of BDR! Dark copper/brownish color with a thin head. Sticky sweet malt aroma, light hints of sour, and caramel. Marshmallowy sweet flavor. A slick sour and tart character. Quite fruity.
