Bottled, thanks jolo! Clear dark brown, brief head. Coffee-like roastiness in the nose. Mid sweet ith medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Roasty malt flavours and not much else. Low bitterness. Solid, but with little depth.

Bottle 500ml.

Clear dark brown amber colour with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly to fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, caramel, straw, light roasted. Flavour is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20120122]

Toffee colored pour with a pretty big khaki head. It quickly falls though, and leaves an ample supply of lacing to clean off later. A nose of malt, slight cocoa, and corn. Very carbonic in the mouth. Slightly sweet and thin. Dry. Bitter. Definitely not a dunkel. Might not even be beer.

Bottle. Dark brown with a fluffy cream foam. Aromas are weetabix and chocolate with nutty notes and lemon. Cola with hints of dark berries and coal. Flavours are cola and weetabix with chocolate. Lightly roasted with soda water and yeast. OK.

Bottled@omhper. Amber colour, small head. Aroma is fruity, earthy, wooden and mild nuttyness as well. Flavour is fruits, wood, malts and mild toasted notes. Pleasantly balanced.
