Dec 1, 2009 0.5 l bottle.
Deep brown colour with a sting of red.
Nice pale brown head, which remains creamy, soft carbonation.
Light roasty, caramell smell.
Taste is a rather sour and sweet-watery mixture, body is medium.
Flavour’s sweet and roasted coffeebeens-liked, some hops’ hiding, too.
Finish is coffeebitter, which lasts long.
Passes somehow, but it’s not the real for me...

Nov 26, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear deep wooden brown with a medium light brown head. Aroma was one note with caramel malts. The flavor was eerily similar to the aroma. Quite boring.

Oct 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours very dark with a medium tan head. Aroma is malt and coffee. Flavor is heavy on the malt and coffee with a hint of licorice. Not sweet at all, and no bitterness from either the roast malt or hops. But I guess that’s true to the variety. The flavor and mouthfeel are a bit thin, but then it makes for a very nice, drinkable dark. Could probably drink this all night.
