Dark brown coloured beer with small off-white head. A malty sweet aroma. Full sweet palate. Finish is sweet and herby.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Dark brown with beige foamy head, an good low-alcholol version for Cola.

(Bottled, BBE 02-04-10) Very dark ruby brown with a tiny, fading head. I got no aroma at all, must be the first time ever when rating a beer. Sweet flavor of something malt-like, maybe the remainders of a wort vessel rinsing liquids. Light body, sugary palate, low carbonation. A "delicate tafelbier". 6113

Bottle. Pours out very dark brown, almost black beer. Beige-brown head. Looked pretty good for me. Aroma’s of dark fruits, but very hard to smell a thing. Taste... cola with a bit of fruit, cherish? Doesn’t really taste as a beer... It looked good, almost great when poured out, but what a disappointment when tasted it.
