look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 2 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2

The colour is deep brown; the firm head is finger thick and cold beige. Almost no lacing occurs.

The smell is a little roasted with some nuts, dough and a dry-bitter flavour. A little anonymous.

The taste is unbalanced. Dry-bitter slight chemical flavours mixes with rye bread, dough and hazelnuts. The body is thin. The aftertaste is a bit chemical with some cardboard, crisp bread, black pepper and an artificial bitterness.

The carbonation is medium although the bubbles are sharp. The liquid is thin.

I didn't expect a deep and full-bodied beer at 3.5%, but this one was surprisingly thin. Add some very odd slight flavours and you get a rather unpleasant brew.
