Bottle. Dark copper with off-white head. A disappointing aroma, mostly light malty. More interesting flavour, with roasted elements and some licorice that hides in the background. There’s also caramel in the flavour. Nice hops towards the end. (050929)

Bottled. pours a dark brown, with a tan head. Aroma is malty and fruity, with roasted notes. Taste is sweet fruity, and of roasted dark malts

On tap in Praha:

The Lure:
Roasted nuts and caramel make up the semblance of a brown ale. Straightforward and easily decipherable.

The Festivities:
Roasted malt and its bitterness painted evenly onto the fruity caramel and plentiful nuts. All flavors are united into one creamy body, a mariage which again is quite brown ale-like.

Transcendence:
Making your own bread.

Bottle, at home - re-rated. Bottle, in Prague (050721). Dark brown with light brown head, mostly diminishing, ok lacings. Aroma moderate malty (brown sugar), light hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet, light bitter. Watery, light body, soft carbonated. 5-4-5-3-10/2,7.

Psyched to see this brew in Akureyri, Iceland. Delicious, though for the style it could’ve been less fizzy and a tad sweeter to really impress me. Thin body with lots of carbo and moderate sweetness.

Dark garnet color with fizzy tan head. Looks like Coke and tastes a little too much like soda as well. Flavors of licorice and caramel, bordering on sinewy. Very fizzy mouthfeel that complements the taste well if you want a refreshing drink, but doesn’t feel like you’re drinking a beer.

Bottled. Clear red brown coloured with a medium sized beige head. Malty aroma with notes of dark bread and dried fruits. Flavour of malts with notes of dark bread, caramel and fruits.

Very dark brown color. Some head but it does not keep. Nice yeasty fresh aroma. I like how it feels in my mouth. Slightly bitter. Nothing fancy but a nice beer. I like the bottle (green glass, black/gold label).
