Light bodied with some toffee and coffee notes. Definitely mainstream, but palatable enough.

bottle, bought at the brewery. Black colour, beautiful creamy head. Flavours of malt, roasted malt, caramel, coffee and bitter chocolate. Quite fruity, especially in the finish and aftertaste.

(bottle, with thanks to quack-duck!) Very dark brown, almost black colour with a fluffy beige foamy head. Slightly sweet and sourish fusty nose of roasted malt with notes of caramel and dark chocolate. Sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly roasted malt-character with notes of chocolate and caramel; moderately dry and bitter finish with chocolate and a very subtle sourish fruitiness. Definitely not moreish. The label states that it is obergärig (top-fermented). Additional info from the homepage of the brewery says it is fermented with Kölsch-yeasts. My first “dark Kölsch” doesn´t work for me.
