(0.33 l bottle at Kaisla on 2008-07-14) Dark brown. Hazy. Small white head. Yeasty and malty nose. Full and dryish palate with some carbonation. Rasin, malts, earth-like flavours and light bitterness, especially in aftertaste. Bit boring.

0.33l bottle in Bruges cafe, Newcastle. Pours deep muddy brown, medium head. Smell is very strong malt, like a cup of Horlicks. Taste again strong malt, also sweet and slight alcohol. Very unusual but pretty enjoyable drink.

Bottled. Brown, beige head. Very perfumy, some honey in the nose mix. The taste is as pleasant, with a long nutty finish with bitter herbs.

Pours a healthy hazy copper brown with a huge head. Aroam of yeast and earth is pronounced. Taste of malts, yeast, some spice ans sweetness. Tastes more like a blonde than a brown.

Smelled yeasty, earthy, doughy. Deep amber with a nice, creamy, off-white head. Medium body weighty on the tongue. Malts were nice at first, but with time they’d unlock more depth. Wholesome, underbaked bread dough quality. Light funkiness was quite pleasant, along with some aromatic herbs and flowers. A mild bitterness cleaved off the mild sweetness nicely. I’ve had this beer in my fridge for a couple months but I kept putting it off because I didn’t think it had much to offer. Boy was I wrong.
