330ml bottle under Dark Noir for the Ontario market. Pours a real dark brown colour, really black with no highlights I can see. The head is frothy, light mocha-coloured, with decent stay and some foamy patches of lacing. The nose is quite nutty, with the roasted malts and other cereal grain notes. Could smell the cocoa nibs at first pour, but seemed to have calm down, and let some coffee notes appear. As soon as you put it in your mouth, you can feel the light mouthfeel and no alcohol business. Still, the taste is alright, as this is a dark brew, showing some roasted malts with hops in the finish, and hints of chocolate, coffee. Well done for such a low alcohol content.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 23.06.2020) im 2020-02 getrunken. Dieses Stout besitzt eine deutlische Kaffeenote und Aromen von einem MARS-Riegel. Überraschend ist das doch volle Aroma bei diesem niedrigen Alkoholgehalt.

Almost clear deep brown, beige head. Smells of deep caramelized sugars, slighlty burnt and ashy, a little smoky. The flavour is not bad - a rather nice dark sugar / light roast / earhy leafy bitterness. Of course the lack of alcohol is hard to hide - that makes the malts feel like sugars dilluted in water. Still, a rather different non-alcoholic beer, both flavour wise and also being free from the usual shortcomings of non-alco pale lagers.
