(Can) Pours black with big tan head. Lovely aroma of pine, with chocolate and toast notes. Full body with a smooth mouthfeel in the finish with good soft plentiful carbonation. It’s an unusual mix of flavours that works very well. There’s refreshing bright tart fruity notes mainly at the start. There’s some rich notes almost like dark chocolate milk, especially in the mid palate. And there’s some good hoppy bitterness in the finish. Very enjoyable.

Can. Brown with an excessively huge beige head. 3- Aroma of tropical & stone fruit, citrus, light roast, chocolate, spices. Nectarines, lychees, coconut, oranges, anise. Lightish bodied. Can feel the lactose unfortunately. Barely sweet with fruit and chocolate then slightly firmer roast than anticipated then a dryish modestly bitter spiced end. Good, original. Maybe best use of Sabro I've tried thus far.
