4,7% alcohol Smell- medium strong, malt, roast, coffee. Foam- medium-thick, roast, some coffee and bit of caramel, but then roasted bitterness and malt goes in. Small, dark brown head Appearance - nice looking bottle with an octopus on it, unique brewer bottle cap, nice. Very dark brown, but almost black, some little tiny bit of carbonation. From - stout glass Taste- roast, roasted malt, weak bitter notes, coffee, some caramel somewhere. I am used to this kind of beers having a lot more alcohol, but this is light, what I think in a way works in its favor and against it. Still decent, low on bitterness but strong on malt and roast.
