Bottle. Clear orange coloured with an off white head. Aroma of malts, earth and spices with acidic notes. Flavour of malts, earth and spices with light acidic notes.

AROMA: wine (more grapejuice), wood, APPEARANCE: brown, cloudy, frothy, TASTE: light sweetness, lightly bitter, PALATE: medium body, creamy, average carbonation, finishes with a slight sweetness, astringent OVERALL: good brune with an interesting wine-character too it, bit too sweet in its finish

Wenig hefig-säuerlicher Antrunk mit zurückhaltender Malznote. Im Mittelteil wird das Malz etwas intensiver, die Säuerlichkeit wird in selbem Maße stärker und steurt so das Malz gezielt. Im Abgang noch einmal etwas säuerlicher, das Malz nistet sich im Hintergrund ein und mischt sich einer allgemeinen Würzigkeit bei. Diese bleibt auch nach Wegfall der Säuerlichkeit im Nachgeschmack aktiv, wirkt aber etwas kraftlos. 11/9/8/8/10/9

Cloudy brown beer, thick white head. Soft creamy and frothy texture. Sweet malt with just a touch of marmite. Soft semi dry finish. Sumptuos!

Bottle - 330ml. Dark amber body with a thick off-white foamy head. its malty/hoppy aroma carries grainy and caramel hints. Alcohol is well hidden. Well balanced taste with grainy and herbal notes. Ends with a decent bittersweet finish. Average product.

Another nice rustic frog biere.. Complex smell of earthy chocolate..nuttiness..treacly rich malt and tinned fruit salad covered in raw alcohol. Good lenghth of flavaz. Nutty burnt caramel..earth and ceral..pretty sweet and syrupy. A bit like a Dubble in texture, minus the soy saue

75cl bottle. clear amber, smooth light brown head. aroma is sweet malty and caramelly, faint booze, faint bitterness. taste is sweet malty, bitter caramel, faint dark fruits,alc bitterness.

Bottled. A dark brown coloured beer with a dissipating off-white head. A sweet malty and sugary aroma with a bit of dark chocolate. Lots of licorice in the mouth with astringent bready malts. Sugary again and a little hard work.

Dark copper underneath big brown head. Earthy light chocolate aroma. Dusty chocolate, earthy, bubble gum, gummy worms, dirt and chocolate pudding combine in a crazy combination of flavours.

The 33cl bottle is 1 year old; it pours a wonderful dark amber color with a huge rocky head; too much carbonation. Caramel aroma, slightly oxidised, nutty and soapy. The body is medium-weak, it has a very simple caramel flavor, low bitterness and light alcohol punch. Too simple.

Bottle. Pours amber brown with a three finger beige head. Nutty roast caramel aroma. Less than med. body with mild carbonation. Quite dry, slightly sour, darkish fruits and treacle. Quite different beer.
