330ml can. Cloudy darkest brown colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting and lacing, beige head. Roasty and chocolately, dark malty aroma, resinous and piney hoppy overtones, hints of grapefruit, a spicy and grassy touch, hints of green onions. Taste is moderately bitter, roasty dark malty and hoppy, malty dark chocolately undertones, grassy and minimally piney hoppy notes, increasing citrusy hop notes lead to a slightly sweet finish with notes of orange and lemon flavoured dark chocolate, a grassy touch with spicy hints of green onions remains on top.
