A red beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty, the flavor slightly sour and malty. A boring beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful dark amber with a small, fine almost Guinness-like head. Very high pressure in this bottle making the beer flood. Presumably unfiltered. Very marked hop bitterness atop a malty base. Perhaps a bit too bitter for me. 251003

Bottled@Poirotti’s Skotoberfest). Reddish orange colour, with small beigeish head. Aroma is quite normal for a bitter, some wood, grassy hops along with some mild notes of caramel. Flavour is quite malty and bready at first but then turns into a very dry grassy bitterness in the finish. Quite pleasant, but not very special.
