500 mL bottle. Dark ruby-brown with a small, diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is sweet malt, with a touch of coffee and roast. Perhaps a little vegetal. Flavour is very syrupy sweet and not much else. Just too sweet.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark reddish brown with a 2 finger beige head that leaves very spotty lacing. The nose is smoky malts, caramel, dark fruits and metal. The taste is sweet caramel malt, prunes, light chocolate and sugar. Medium creamy body. Easy drinker, but nothing special.

Bottle. A clear, brown body under a creamy beige head. Caramel, some vegetables and oxidation on the nose. Dry chocolate and a touch of alcohol too. Maybe some brown gravy? (Brun saus) Smooth, medium body with caramel, some coffee and chocolate, a little bitterness and a faint note of vegetables. Sweet, roasted and decently bitter finish. Quite interesting and nice.

aroma rich in chocolate with a slight malted barley and lukewarm coffee note.
