Opaque colour, tiny beige head. Aroma is mainly liquorice powder. Light to medium-bodied. Roasted flavour has saltyness and lots of liquorice. A bit watery for its ABV. Dominant liquorice is a bit too rough in this one.

Smell of salmiac. Black colour, tiny brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, salmiac, some sugary candy note. Sweet. Soft carbon. Too much salmiac dominance.
