11.2 oz swing cap bottle from Spirits RB. Pours an ugly muddy brown with lots of clinging bubbles and a smaller bubbly white head. Aroma is all grain with notes of nutts, brown bread, toffee, and yeast. Fuller mouthfeel with a watery thinness and stronger carbonation. Flavor of cereal, brown toast, raisins and plastic. Meh nothing special here.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Lightly sweet aroma with toffee and toasted grains. The flavor has sweet malts with some toasty notes. Decent.

500ml swing top bottle. Red/amber coloured beer with a nice frothy off white head. Good toasty malty aroma..loved it slight Ovaltine scent in this too..which again i loved. Nice malt driven beer, biscuity,doughy, strong, touch of hops in the end. I found this fairly inviting on the palate. Good drinkable vienna. Liked it a lot simple but good.

Clear amber with a large off white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel and hoppy notes. Flavour was malty with caramel and grassy hops. Finished dry and quite bitter.

50 cL bottle, courtesy of MiP. Pours clear and golden orange with a white head. Sweet caramel and pilsner malt aroma, light hops presence. Flavour is smooth roasted malt with a light bitterness appearing into the finish. Light breadish touch into the finish alongside a nice fruity hops flavour.

Bottle, pours deep gold with a small white head. Sweet malty aroma. Flavors are light malt, with some hay and next to no bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Pours an almost mahogany body with a thin white head. Some sweet malt, a note of grape, lightly grainy. Sweet malt with an almost plumy fruitness about it. Lightly bitter but not cloying. A bit watery and dull as it warms but somewhat enjoyable.
