473ml can. Jet black colour with average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, dark beige to tan head. Roasty, minimally bready-grainy, dark malty and minimally caramel malty aroma, hints of pumpernickel, dark caramel, a touch of treacle, dark toffee, coffee. Taste is bitter, roasty, almost a bit ashy, minimally bready-grainy, dark malty, minimally caramel malty, moderately bitter, minimally grassy, hoppy, hints of coffee, a touch of dark caramel, burnt caramel, pumpernickel; very low residual sweetness, lingering, bitter (roasty and hoppy) finish scratches at the border to metallic.
Oily texture, smooth and minimally greasy, essentially rather dry palate, medium to fine, prickly carbonation.
Nice composition, relatively meaty for a non-Imperial brew at "normal" abv level - good!
