0.5 l bottle from local ’LIDL’, bottled in June 2017. Clear, very dark reddish brown to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, light beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of milk chocolate, vanilla and hazelnut. Rather sweet, malty, slightly roasty taste of milk chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut and some coffee, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter, quite earthy-dry finish. Medium body, moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Overall decent, quite good for the price though!

500ml bottle from Lidl - Clear dark ruby to brown body, no head. Nose has a gentle coffee to it, subtle (i.e weak) vanilla and chocolate notes at the back. Stronger in the vanilla in the taste, some chocolate and some bitter yeastiness there too. Okay, but a bit thin.

0,5 l bottle for 0,99 € at Lidl Germany. Not really black in the glass, more than one finger creamy beige head. Smell has a lot of choco, vanilla and some malt. Some increasing dark malt into the taste. Some hints like fresh Polaris hop. Expected a little bit more deepness but not bad at all.
