Thin, off-white head of fine bubbles. Recedes quickly. Roasty aroma with some roasted malts, tea leaves and a hint of cherry. Dark amber in color. Malty and roasty flavor with some more tea and earthy notes. Pretty smooth but a little bit lifeless in the mouth. Finishes roasty and dry. So so.

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A very interesting bottle from Thaichile. Pours a dark amber color with a medium tan head. The aroma was light hops, some caramel malt, and perhaps some sweet cherry. The flavor was fairly straightforward, but nice; some sweet malts, a large hop presence, not too bitter but flavorful, and some very light cherries. A very quaffable beer and no notice of alcohol. More like a Pale Ale than anything else really.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Amber body with an of white head. Sweet cherry, caramel malt. Over all tastes like a sweet lager. Not much here.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap served in a trappist glass. Cherry, vanilla, malty, ever so slightly hoppy. Dark red slightly amber body almost like cherry coke. Slight head. Maybe a little too much carbonation as it seemed to permeate and distort the flavor slightly. But a good malty and nutty body balanced with light cherry and hop flavor. A good beer to be sure but a work in progress. It has a lot of potential.
