Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also light notes of berries. The flavor is sweet malty again with strong notes of caramel, leading to a dry strawy end.

Sample from 50 cL bottle. Pours amber with light white head. Aroma is malty and hey/hops. Flavour is very sweet and malty, slight banana note. Finish is long and sweet.

Bottle. Large creamy like beige head that mostly lasted. Fair lacing. Clear amber color. Butter, roasted, caramel, fruit and hint of chocolate. Light to medium bodied with an average carbonation. Flavor was moderated sweet malty notes with light bitterness. Sweet and light lingering finish. Thought this was really good and very drinkable beer. Then again, I like sweet things… ;-)
