Bottle from Tesco. Consumed at home. Very dark brown. Decent carb and a small beige head. Aroma of smoke, chocolate malt, seawater. Taste is more of a let-down: sweet and salty with an artificial taste, almost like corn syrup. Weak, watery mouthfeel. Salty aftertaste. Odd but passable,

500ml bottle at home. Pours dark brown, minimal tan head. Faint aromas of sugar and generic maltiness. More dark sugar on the taste, light herbal bitterness. Medium body, clean finish. OK.

BOTTLE 50CL.
Head: beige, medium, frothy to creamy, avg. retention. Colour: dark amber almost black, clear.
Aroma: roasted, mildly sweet and oily notes like halva.
Taste: not much roast per se, but a light roasty acidity, light bitter finish.
A nice "stouty" aroma, but quite a thin body.

It has nice clear dark brown color. It’s light bodied and preety carbonated. It’s slightly fruity sweet with touch of hops. Very nice beer.
