Bottle 500ml. blue glass.
Clear medium brown color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, dusty, berry notes, leather - barnyard notes, plastic, light meat - smoke, vinous nose. Flavor is light heavy sweet, light to moderate acidic and moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20100416]

Now this is a beutiful blue bottle - if it was the appearance of the bottle I had to rate - I’d give it 5! But since it is the beer when poured is a very dark brown beer with a slight red shine and only a rim of brown head along the side of the glass it only gets a 3. The aroma is very lightly roasted and the flavor is also lightly roasted combined with notes of wood, which leaves You with a very dry end. Besides the light nose and flavor, the body is thin. Give me more power.

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark brown with an orangey glow and a small, beige head. Very discreet aroma, perhaps a touch of roasted malt. Very thin and watery body. Starts somewhat smoked, vaguely coffeeish with some roasted malt, but it’s all gone in no time. No real hops. Quite unusual. 170406

Bottled at RBESG ’07. Very dark brown, brief head. Roasty and phenolic. Medium bodied with a lemony tang. There’s notes of licorce and a whiff of smoke. The mouthfeel doesn’t hold up, so it ends up feeling thin. Finishes with low bitterness. I wanted so this beer to be good.

Bottle, 4.7%. Farty and sweet malt aroma. Cloudy very dark brown colour. Citric aroma, woody sourness. OK flavourful for the ABV, and not too bad.

Dark brown color. Some aroma of caramel, cardboard, dry wood. Very thin mouthfeel, really watery.

Bottle @ Brugmansia/Fonefan US Tasting, April 2010. Thanks a lot. Pours unclear dark brown with a small bubbly head. Nose and taste is dust and port. Very vinous nose. Slightly tart with a mild smokey note in the back, some coffee and again hints of cellar. Medium bodied, Ok

(Cool Blue Bottle) Pours a black body with a spare beige body. Aroma of light roastiness, dark chocolate, and notes of licorice. Flavor of roasted malt and chocolate.

Bottle at RBESG 2007. Woody, sweaty. Pretty bad actually. Attractive bottle and quite a few seemed to pick this up in Edinburgh.
