Pours crustal clear amber with a small foam head that does not last. Mouth is malty with a soft bitterness, smoky notes. Light peat in aftertaste with caramalt and toffee like an old english ale.

Very interesting beer here. Lots of different flavors combine to challenge the taste buds. Dried fruit, wood, smoke, spice all in the mix. Marked down slightly for the appearnce of being flat with not much head to speak of, but the taste will leave you savoring the flavors. A nice find!

Bottle. Nice head with medium duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are mild and fresh malt, notes of fruits, caramel and hops.

Medium head, slightly brown, filtered chestnut colour, sweet banana caramel smell, soft caramel taste with a bitter slightly sharp finish

Small beige head doesn’t last. Clear brown body. Faint fruity aroma. Dry-sweetish wooden roasted sugar taste with herbal notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry roasty sugar and wood aftertaste with caramelly grassy cinnamon notes. Decent, but a bit bland and a bit odd. (0.33l bottle, CitySuper IFC, Hong Kong.)

Pours into a chalice as a gigantic foam bomb, even when chilled. Light aroma of malts, hay, alcohol. Taste is a mix of tin and malt with some other vegetable spices thrown in - maybe ginger or coriander. Unique taste closer to a saison.
