Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Murky brown pour. Some fruit on the nose. Faint aroma. Taste is of old malts, sharp sharp bitter and spit-up? Um, I hope that’s just acid reflux. Nope. Finishes the same.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a tan head and a brown body. Aroma of gingerbread, caramel, molasses, raisins and earthy, damp forest leaves. Taste is lightly vinous, with gingerbread, caramel and vinegar. Light carbonation.

Bottled. Aroma has some spice, caramel malts and red fruits. Clear, brown coloured beer with a lasting, off-white head. The taste is slightly sour, sweet. There is swome bitterness. Quite fruity in taste. Medium bodied. Dry in the finish.

Bottle - 330ml. Pours a cola brown body with average carbonation and a thin brown bubbly/foamy head. Nice, complex malty/hoppy aroma with cinnamon, yeasty, and brown sugar hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. Robust malty/hoppy taste with spicy, caramel, and oaky notes. Ends with a long, sharp, bittersweet finish. Perfect on a cold, rainy afternoon.

Thanks to fata! Pours a brown color with a light tan head. Aroma is a bit tart with some yeast, light hops and certainly some spices. Flavor has light tartness to go along with the yeasty, spices and caramel. Interesting beer.
