A black colored beer, with a thick dark beige head. The aroma of smoked malts with dark fruits. The taste is a little thin. There are smoked malts with coffe, a little chocolate, dark fruits like prune. A little bitter. The aftertaste is a little bitter too.

500 ml bottle. Deep dark reddish brown, nearly black, with a nice brown head. Roasted malts, coffee, liquorice and a little smoke in the aroma. The flavour is roasted, malty, with coffee, liquorice and a slightly smoky bitter hoppy finish. A nice example of how enjoyable a well-made, relatively low-ABV beer can be.
