Served from a 33 cl bottle bought in Madrid. The website says this is in the style of a German lager, but Vienna Lager is my best guess at what's intended.

A - The beer is a medium gold/honey color. It is fairly clear, but not perfectly so. Bottle conditioned with about 1 cm of sediment at bottom. Head is pure white; initially thick, but fades to a thin, persistent layer.

S - Aroma is dominated by a strong nutty/smoky note. It's not particularly pleasant. Malt and hops don't rise to recognizable levels.

T - There is a bit of bready malt up front, like a Vienna lager, but it is quickly eclipsed by the nutty, smoky, acrid note from the aroma. It hits you in the back of the sinuses like sniffing old cigarette butts in a dirty ashtray. No hops or other flavors.

M - Medium body. Carbonation is prominent, but fairly smooth. Low hops bitterness. No alcohol burn.

O - This has a definite house flavor in common with Lüge Pale Ale; unfortunately it's an acrid smoky note like burned pecan shells. This one is not quite as acrid as in the Pale Ale, but it still makes it an unpleasant beer to me.
