Deep brown beer with a creamy tan head. Aroma is quite nice. Rich nutty/chocolatey sweetness. Softly bready malt sweetness with a well-lagered cleanness. Sort of doughy and malty with lots of rich figgy/fruity sweetness. Really great balance with the fruitiness playing well off of the sweet rich malts. Lightly herbal hop finish. I wasn’t expecting much from this, but it is really quite good, and at 1.90 its a fantastic deal.

I bought this because it was a buck ninety for a 500ml - I figured, even if it’s bad, who cares? - it’s 1.90 - anyway, this really is much better than the ratings suggest - pours a dark amber, with a moderate lace - aroma of cherries, nuts, treacle, pastry dough, bread pudding - the flavor isn’t a sweet, and actually has a tiny bit of tartness to it - a lot of doughy character in the flavor, with cane sugar in the background, cherries, raisins, figs, nutty character - a touch of hops - lingering clean sweetness in the finish - fairly flavorful (but surprisingly sweet) for the abv - like a toned down assam bock - it’s pretty good - actually, for the price, it’s damn good.

500ml bottle dark brown with a nice foamy head. malt aroma. bland flavor thin with a bit of nuttiness. blah

dark brown pour as promised with a well sized light tan head. malty aroma, but the taste doesn’t deliver the punch and the finish is odd.

From tap. Pours dark brown with a huge light tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and light acidic. Flavour is mild fruity and light acidic roasted malt. Goes into a light dry buterish and medium dry finish.
