500 ml. brown, tall European bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a hazy, orangish / amber color, with a small white head. The head was loose and not well formed. I poured it off slowly to keep the crud in the bottom of the bottle. Be warned: this beer has major sludge in the bottom of it. I left it behind, because I don’t drink the dregs. Aromas are of Jewish rye bread, lactic wheat malts, slight Brettanomyces funk, and a wet wool blanket. Tastes are a strange combination of vanilla, oak barrel, lactic wheat malts, cherries mascerated in rum, and Belgian funk. Medium mouthfeel. Finishes dry and crisp. Not bad for my first Roggenbier.
