A 'Viennoise' recipe, uh?
This is a very interesting brew because of the relation between taste and smell. The pour is a deep red with a thin, quick fading white/tan head. The smell, abundant in malt above anything else, reminds one of bavaria 8.6-style strong lagers (which i ain't particularly a fan of).

But the taste is rather very moderate and balanced, the malts are still dominant in the taste but they do not "attack" your mouth, rather combine with a medium and "oily" (in a good way) body of the beer. The bitterness is slightly felt at the end, in a good way as well: the beer is a whole lot more balanced than it appears.
