Bottle, 5.5%. Strange rotten fruit/yeast aroma. Cloudy grey amber colour. Small white head. The flavour is OK spicy, but has quite some bad fruity rough notes.

Cloudy dark amber color; creamy head. The aroma is pungent, with caramel, spices, but also pond water. Good body strength, with caramel flavor and a too high vegetables and iron touch. The bitterness at the end is too much, and the final has also some of the unpleasant flavors, with a touch of sweet liquorice, and still the dirty water. Rather unleasant.
