| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 22, 2009 500 ml bottle. Black colour, brown head that dissipates too quickly and leaves no lace, not what one expect for the style. Bad start. Smell is roasted, some coffee and a bit metallic. Taste is a little better, but very fainty, coffee, caramel, roasted. I was expecting much more from this one. At least is drinkable.

Bottle brown, 500 ml
Appearance: Pours dark red to brown, strongly roasted body, body carbonation is rather gentle, head is brownish, cappuccino like, very nice in colour in deed, foamy to frothy, leaving gentle lacing, initially medium, slowly decreasing to small.
Aroma: Rusty, roasty, reminding me roasty white meat like the one of chicken, no fruity accents, strong black ashy roasted barley malt, classically simple according to its style, notes of coffee, dark dessert chockolate, some notes of cacao, no sweetness present.
Flavour: Salty and roasty to ashy front, later on nice notes of herbal - citrussy Pilsener like bitterness become present, very nice pure roasted barley grains displayed on palate plus strong bitter-tangy-astringent hoppy touches. Tastes in fact like sharply bitter dark version of the Classic German Pilsener without hint of sweetness.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is dry, carbonation on palate is moderate to low, finish feel is highly astringent, grainy, very clean, salty, slightly sour, mineral, complex and impressive.
