Sample on draft @ ZBF 2013
That smelled bad. Like the garbage bin of my studentkitchen, some coffee, cheese and a bit alcohol.
Hazy chestnut red with a beige to mokka foamy head. Not lasting, but lacing. Some sparkles.
Burned coffee beans, caramel, roasted. Loads of bitter but still a bit sweet.
Normal fizzy mouthfeel, alcohol as well. Long strong bitter finish.
Beer was not completely balanced for me, a bit too sharp.

3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma of sweet malts with touches of dark fruit present. Pours a dark brown with a mostly diminishing tan head and minimal lacing. The taste is subdued. Malts, caramel, with some alcohol noted in the finish. Medium body with mild carbonation. Overall, not as overpowering as some quads, but very drinkable.

3.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Bierfestival Groningen. Brown, small head. Aroma has a bit piss in it, strange, maybe my glass wasn’t clean, or the beer seems infected. But it tastes good, full bodied,
