Draught at the brewpub Hazy muddy brown body. Off-white creamy head with an excellent lace. Aroma has some hops, smoke, orange, lemon, grapefruit. Not the aroma one would expect from a beer like this. Lightly bitter flavour, not so intense and even somewhat watery. The aroma was interesting, the flavour not that much.

Keg at magister, october 07. Opaque black color with a creamy, medium sized cremé head. Buttery, slightly toasted aroma. Toasty malts flavor plus some irish yeastiness with some slight coffee notes at the end. Nice. Creamy, silky motufeel. Filling, pleasant and moreish. Can´t discern if it´s on nitro. Nice, creamy, filling stout.

Comments: Simplistic, toasted lager with a mild fruity flavour profile and a blatant negligence of hops.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours deep brown with a little dense off-white head. Very minor caramel malt aroma. Flavour holds a soft caramel malt flavour, this clearly is toasted rather than roasted :). Ends with a mild bitterness. Again not much going on here, but has some more to offer compared to the blond.

On tap at Magister. Poured a deeper smoky caramel with a creamy cap of off-white head. Lightly-toasted caramel and toffee notes in the aroma (as advertised) with light herbal accents.. simple and somewhat enjoyable. The flavor was of lightly-toasted caramel and sweet fruity sugars with light hints of herbal and citrusy bitterness.. long-ish sweet finish. Lighter-bodied with a creamy middle and mild bitterness.
