500 ml bottle courtesy of Hugh (non-RB). Thanks for the gift! Brought to tasting on April 21. Pours hazy dark reddish brown with a frothy bronish white head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of trace and lacing on the glass. Smell is sweet and malty with dark bread, caraway, metal, liquorice root, caramel, wood, dusty cocoa and hints of cleanser. Taste is slightly sweet and slightly bitter with dark bread, bread spices, liquourice root, orange peal, black currants, grape zest and hints of metal. Mouthfeel is round, tiny tart and light to medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet, bitter and slightly sour with dark bread, yeast and orange peal. The chemical smell brings it down a bit but except for that this was a surprisingly good beer.
