After pouring, a stout-typical thin and beige coloured head remains on the top of the stuff.
Colour is a deep, non-transparent black and there’s naturally no sparkling in it.
Roasty, and coffeebeans-like impressions are hitting the nose.
Taste is sharpy, body’s full and oily.
Flavour is like previous added with some kind of bitter chocolate, too.
Finish is hoppy, dry and lasts lomg in the mouth.
Nice stout for one glass in the evening.
