Poured a clear very dark brown with a medium sized creamy beige head. The aroma was of chocolate, ash, cola, and a moderate sweetness. The flavor was tart with notes of dry chocolate. The finish was bitter and watery.

Bottle shared by JoeMcPhee - dark brown, fizzy, cola-looking beer - aroma of vanilla and cocoa, with some odd notes of boiled vegetables underneath - thin and watery flavor, with some bitter coffee and cocoa notes, and some leafy tobacco character - dry and a little bit tart in the finish - reminds me of weak coffee in a lot of ways - thin, bland, uninteresting.
