Bottled. A deep red beer with an off-white head. The aroma has light notes of plastic, fruits, and berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of burnt plastic and berries.

The aroma is actually like a smoke beer with chestnuts, candy sugar, and malt. The appearance is deep amber with a persistent foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. The aftertaste is medicinal. Overall its not too good.
