Thick light-greige head over jet-black beer. Black, thin coffee with a piece of black chocolate thrown into, but nose suggests no traces of bitterness. Pure (thin) coffee, with again black chocolate retronasal, if not very intense. Haagse Hopjes, coffee sweets. Not very-well bodied, but quite slick to sticky. Goody-goody, beer, staying well away from offensing anyone. Thanks to Stef!
