Draught at Beer Belly. Earthy amber flavor, with caramel and good hops. Quite like a Biere de Garde, but sweeter than usual and more caramel. Some fruit as well, dark, mainly cherries. Smooth, clean, and well balanced.

Mahogany color. Big marachinno cherries in the nose with a touch of milk chocolate. Mouth is completely off balance with butterscotch and cherries, but sourness really throws this beer. Also too light bodied. Odd indescribable finish.

Draught at Craft Beer Bar, Yokohama. Clear nut brown, minimal head. Light soapy floral nose. Sweetish with marked roastiness and some tartness., notes of butter. Low bitterness. A beer that never springs to life.
