On draught at Brasserie Fédéral in Zürich. The beer pours a dark brown color with a medium beige head that dissipates steadily. The nose is lightly roasty with notes of malt and fruit. Light body with flavors of toasted malt, slightly sour fruit and nuts. The finish is short and malty. Average all around.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A good and different beer. More sour than I had expected, but obviously without reaching the levels of Flemish browns. Nice and typical aftertaste.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Säuerlich-wässriger Antrunk mit wenig malzigen Zügen, die eine eindeutig untergeordnete Rolle spielt. Spät wird die Säuerlichkeit zaghaft geringer, an ihre Stelle rückt eine dezente Bitterkeit. Auch hier spielt das Malz keine Rolle. Mildes Schwarzbier ohne sortentypische Aromen. 9/5/5/6/8/5

Keg (Brasserie Federale, Zurich)
Sour off aroma. Dark, small head. A touch vegetal, and some treacle, in the mouth. DMS, boiled cabbage in the taste. Burnt cabbage, in fact - yay! Finish a touch sweet. Not sure this has much potential espite the colour.
