3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London - thanks to Ian, I reckon. Pours clearish, golden-red with a fine, beige cream cap. Semi-dark malt aroma with light fruits. Light to medium sweet flavor with some toasty bread, light leaves. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Light sweet finish with background chocolate notes, light bread. Somewhat bland, but not bad, exactly.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Small beige-cream head over deep ruby beer, well-carbonated and faintly veiled. Chocolate, cocoapowder, Be truffles. Hint at parsley. Chocolate, slightly sweet, finish is dry - as in cocoapowder. Quite aromatic, nothing forced. Spritzy to fizzy; maybe medium bodied. Better than the sum of its parts. Many thanks to Stefaan!

Not much going on in the aroma, some malts, little else. Apple in the taste. Dull and boring. I don’t get it.
