Almost opaque black, clear ruby highlights, beige head. The aroma is clean, but simple - sweet bread and cocoa muffin dough, just a hint of green hop matter, little to none bolder roasty flavours. A tiny bit of ethanol vapours cutting through your nostrils, reminding you about beer's considerable gravity. Similar taste - you start getting some baking chocolate, chocolate cookies, then a pinch of green hops and... that's about it. The body is lean and smooth, easy drinking, but lacks the velvetines of richer strong stouts. Not much alcohol to talk about, but you can feel some heat down the throat. Nice and clean, just too unimperial by modern standards.
