bottle from the brewery - hazy ruby-brown colour with a little beige foam left; sweet malty aroma with notes of red fruits (prunes, cherries) and hints of spices (ginger ?); sweet and medium-bodied, quite low carbonation, low bitterness and slightly dry; the finish shows a lingering spiciness with more notes of red fruits; gently oily palate

Cloudy dark amber color; medium-sized creamy head. The aroma is not convincing: vegetables, iron, paper, caramel, pepper; very wrong. Caramel flavor, dryish mouthfeel, some alcohol perception, but again too evident off flavor of vegetables. This bottle is gone bad for sure; but since it has been quite carefully handled, I question the cleanliness of the brewing process.
