473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown, almost black with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, licorice, dark chocolate, prune, date, molasses and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, licorice, dark chocolate, caramel, prune, date and earth in a dry, bitter coffee finish. Medium to full body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty, enjoyable and has some complexity.
