Taste malts, earthy, iron, brown malts, dark fruits again. Fizzy carbonation, average body. Not very good. -- Update: after leaving it on the table for about half an hour the carbonation subsided and the beer actually was pretty decent. It would probably get a 3.3 or thereabout now, so I averaged them (original rating was a 2.7) to a 3.0.
