Bottle. Aroma of toasted malt, some metallic notes. Flavor has some raspberry in addition to the toasted/baked malt. Light bitterness that doesn’t really mesh with the rest. Doesn’t work terribly well for me, but not bad either.

Bottle courtesy of scrizzz. Pours a deep, dark amber with a very small white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of light sweet fruits (raspberry seeds) and sweet malt. Flavor of nice light fruity sweetness (more raspberry and strawberry seeds). Nice, light, and tasty.

Dark copper colored body with a lightly off white head. The aroma was light grapefruit and caramel. There was also some lightly roasted peanuts. The taste had some rich notes of caramel and a little bit of orange peels. There was also some light tobacco, but it was pleasing. A decent brew that was easy to drink.
