Backlog. Brownish black colour with a "cola" kind of ruby element to it and a small beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, some mild toasted and chcolaty tones with a bit lactose to it as well. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma. Sweetish, but also nicely toasted. Like a Dunkel meeting a stout.

On tap at the Abbot's Alehouse, Cork. Dark amber to dark brown colour. Small creamy off-white head. Mild roasty and coffee aroma. Coffee flavour, roasty, burnt, ash, light roasty bitterness. Smooth, creamy, drinkable, dry finish, but a bit too thin.

Pours a very-near black, darkest brown. Medium small, off-white head thats very stable. Scent is roasty, toffee, milder coffee, hints of aged chocolate. Taste is surprisingly bitter. Fairly smooth body - tad sticky (toffee) in the finish though, which I'm not to fond of. Roasty, burnt coffee, hints of low-quality, aged pure chocolate. Meidum carbonation. Medium body. Pretty boring, but nothing majorly off.
