look: 4.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25
Bottle 0.5 L.
Clear dark brown body, with an average, creamy, tan head mostly lasting with some lacing.
Moderate malty aroma (caramel, dark bread, roasted) with light notes of dired fruits.
Flavour is malty sweet but comes to a bitter long finsh.
Light-to-medium body with an oily texture; soft carbonation; some light metallic feeling in the finish.
Overall nice beer.

Dark red color, decent beige foam.
Light toasted malt in the smell, caramel, an coffee.
A bit too swett in the taste, then an untied bitterness, and a caramel and lightly toasted finish.
Not well balanced, but still drinkable.

A pour that looks like cola. Brown, thin viscosity, tiny head that dissipates quickly. Aroma was a skunky, mildly roasted cocoa.

Taste was like old coffee malt flavors, wet wood, a little cocoa/chocolate malt feel. Some bitterness from the roast.

Kind of expensive for the lack of ingredients, I guess there is lagering time and import costs, but nonetheless, this was just so middle of the road for me.
