3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[draft] A deep red beer with a beutiful head. The flavor is sweet with notes of black currant and yeast. The aroma has a thin start compared to the aroma but then a bitterness from the malt takes over. The malt-flavor is dominated by roasted and black malt. The aroma containes absolutely no sweetness. It ends on a rather dry malt bitter note on the tongue. Not at all what I expected. I thought it would be sweeter and not so bitter.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brown with a decent, light-brownish head. Very dry, aromatic hoppiness - not much sweetness from the dark malts. Some roasted notes and only a medium bitter finish. 080100
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a deep amber hue, clear, and a huge light brown head. Sweet almost honey like aroma with an underlying grainy note. Slight roasted malt flavour a bit like dark bread is the first flavour, followed by a short bit of sweetness before a slight citric and then bitter flavour kicks in. The bread flavour is persistent throughout with a slight mouldy touch. Decent but somewhat too simple.
