Black color with a tan head, good retention and nice lacework. Aroma has notes of roasted malts. Aroma is roasty, high presence of coffee and black chocolate. Flavor is slightly sweet, notes of prunes, coffee beans and licorice. Very dense on palate with high body. Enjoyable spanish beer.

Flaska från Saveur Bieré drucken med ölföreningen. Smak och doft av rostad malt, choklad och fina kaffetoner. Kraftfull kropp, torr, något kärv och sträv, lagom sötma, viss sälta, fin beska.

Flaska från Saveur-bier, drucken med ölföreningen. Kolsvart med ganska högt mörkbeigeskum. Stor fin doft av kaffe med en del choklad i bakgrunden. Ganska torr och kärv med tydlig besk. Rejäl kropp, stora smaker med bra balans och inte svårtdrucken. Riktigt gott.
