Dark amber color, thick creamy head. Light caramel aroma. Harsh mouthfeel, dry; poor structure, with a rising final of burnt sugar, bitter caramel and a strong bitterness; lightly metallic. Just a bit less unbalanced than the <i>Blonde</i>.

Bottle from bu11zeye. Pours with a light brown head and a murky dark brown body. Aroma of clove, a bit of leather, flowery with dark fruits. Taste is leathery and chocolatey with spices. A bit on the fizzy side.
