Handwritten notes: This is a surprisingly light and bright dark beer without a metallic aftertaste. This leads me to believe that it is a dark lager. Correct me if I'm wrong, beer nerds. The light flavour kind of gives this beer a soda-like consistency . If I would taste it blindfolded I would swear it was red in colour. I'm not sure about the wild boar on the can, though. What I'm even less sure about is what happened at Waterloo. Sadly, the extent of my knowledge as to that historical event is contained in the ABBA song of the same name. The most brilliant thing I ever heard about ABBA came quite innocently from my old lady. She said "I can't stand ABBA, their songs are too catchy". And that single line saved our marriage. "Too catchy". Genius.
