Thin coarse brownish head. Opaque brown body with yeast sludge at the bottom. Wooden vinuous banana and licorice aroma with yeast, honey, and alcohol notes. Dry-sweet fruity roasty alcoholic taste with wooden yeasty bananaish notes. Thin-bodied. Dry acidic wooden grainy metallic barnyard aftertaste. Not a success. Might have been stored improperly. (0.275l bottle from gr0ve.)

Pours amber with no head and only a faint lacing around the glass. Smells tarte and sweet with some citrussy touches. Tastes of sweet caramel, molasses, some dark fruit, boozy on the finish.

Bottle. Frothy white almost no head. Orange colour. Moderate malty and hoppy and very vinius aroma. Light sweet and bitter flavor. Honey, toffee and orange notes. Slightly acetic! Average finish and creamy palate. Not well-balanced beer.

Bottle. Unclear amber colour with a very small no good head. Rich malty aroma and taste with fruity, almost vinious notes. Nice beer.
