Commercial Description:
Dark chocolate in color, you can see a wonderful reflection if you hold it up to the light. It is round and soft with the warm, sweet aroma of freshly roasted malted barley. A satisfying, malty taste, with coffee-ish tones and a hint of plummy fruitiness in the finish. Complex and beautifully balanced.

500 ml bottle - Poured up a very deep amber color with about half an inch of creamy off white head. The head was slow to diminish so I drank it. Nice lacing was left on the glass. The aroma was of sweet malt and a hint of spice. The taste is lightly sweet and finishes with a tang that may come from the carbonation. Very clean aftertaste. Nice brew.

Bottle. Pours brown with very little pebbly head. Hints of toasted nut. A bit of a bandaid odor to the finish.

Brown pour with big alive brown head. Hints of light roast on the nose. Watery Espresso with a touch of caramel to it. Clean finish.

16.9oz - Aroma of toasted malts and sprouts. A little nutty. Pours transparent red-brown with medium head and good lacing. Flavor is toasty, earty, malty, with barley, sprouts, and nuts. Palate is kind of thin and sticky. Not bad

Brown with clear red shine, big bubbled head stays long, leaves laces; Huge nose, deep, first loads of grapefruit (like the carbonation blows in your face), later notes of soil, dark baked white bread, loads of character; Quite bitter/ acidy body, a bit to the watery thin side; Long but again watery thin finish that has a chewy bitterness and the same aroma as the nose. I find that the character of nose and body isn’t all that coherent.

Tasty, with a hint of spice. Pours a golden-brown with good head. Finish was okay, but not as long or good as I was hoping.

Bottle (best regard to joss): Dark amber coloured with red sparks, small, stable beige head; stronger aroma of roasted malt with a touch of coffee (almost a smoked aroma); slightly sweetish flavour with some bitterness in the wings; slightly sweetish, but later dry "roasted" malty and bitter finish. A light bodied goodie.........
