Some roasted malts in the nose. A skunky lagery scent. Not a lot in the aroma.
Tastes like a lager with added burnt malt, some toffee notes. Nothing more really.
Like a boring schwarzbier. donfardz64 (441), Wellington, New Zealand

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2005 Tasted 17/09/2005. Full English pints at the house bar, Accents on the Park, after visiting the brewery the day before. Near black, deep ruby, with a thin, creamy, light tan head. Nice full dark chocolate nose. Good smooth mouthfeel, not too heavy, with a good dose of chocolate malt and a dry roasted barley finish. Lovely little, easy drinking, drop from an interesting brewery. Tried before, in the bottle, and it hasn’t been anywhere near as good. motelpogo (4399), Plzen, Czech Republic
