Clear very dark brown beer. Thick biscuit coloured head. Light semi soft palate, dry. Dry dark malt, quite licorice. Undertone of spicy dentyne bubblegum and a trace of banana. Finishes dry with a tiny bit of hop fruit coming through. Light and tasty but a little overdry.

Bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. A clear, ruby colored beer with a small, beige head. Quite alcoholic nose, some dried fruits and toffee blend in. The flavor has dried fruits, a berry-like sourness, alcohol and some toffee. A little phenolic. Full-bodied and quite dry, finishing with a touch of chocolate in addition to the initial flavors. Not a bad one, but not very nice either. 100814
