bottle, courtesy of pivnizub - thanks! Clear amber-golden colour, large white head. Malty nose. Malty, hints of caramel, slightly hoppy with a herbal accent. The house character is present.

Bottle (purchased at the brewery): A bit hazy, amber to deep amber coloured, quickly collapsing fluffy beige head; light mineralic and caramelly nose with a subtle fruity background; light to moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, light bodiedas well; slightly lingering caramelly and bitter finish. Drinkable, but no glory.....

Bottle, thanks Pivnizub. Fairly spicy (cummin, coriander) aroma, light sourdough. Orange brown, golden head. Heather entry, light lactic, roast, orangepeel. Medium body, mellow mouthfeel, chewy. Roasted salty exit. Interesting flavours.

(bottle, 33cl) Clear, dark amber colour with a ruby shine and a small and slightly off-white foamy head. Slightly toasted malty and nutty aroma with a tinge of caramel and herbal and sweaty hops. Moderately sweet flavour, light bodied with a tame carbonation. Toasty malty and slightly earthy, leafy taste with traces of caramel; sweet malty and shy bitter hoppy finish with notes of metal, which fade away after a few sips. Not that bad but I would not order a second bottle; probably better on tap. 28.V.10
