Draught Jet-black with some ruby highlights, and a Guinness head. Charcoal, roasted & lightly smoked; very stout-like features, more than Rauch. Hint at phenols. Roasted, burnt, again extremely Guinness-clone like. Restsweetness lurking in the background, phenols all but gone. Bit of dry, non-sweet liquorice. Very creamy texture, medium bodied, and very slick and dry. Definitely more stout than smoked. As a stout, it’s surprisingly professional, technically perfect.
