20/11/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of the SHIG. Pours almost black with a creamy/frothy beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt, liquorice, touch of coffee, ash and blackcurrant. Moderate sweetness and medium roasted bitterness. Medium body, slight creamy texture, average carbonation. Enjoyed this.

330ml bottle, via Beer52; BB Oct 2020. Poured (twice) into an old Gaffel glass at home on 7th feb 2020. Well, as the name suggests it's black, the head a full tanned affair. Aroma has some coffee notes, as does the taste, actually it's OK. I worried about the idea of a boring style of beer being 'blacked' but it was fine in this instance. Let's leave it at that.

Rocky tan head left a creamy cover on a still black body. Malt, coal & berry aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the front with thicker cloying back. Roasted, nutty, malt, bitter, cream & berry tastes. Deece.

Beer 52. Bottle. Roasty aroma with a light perfumed streak. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head. Light sour - dark berries - with hints of sweetness. Gradually takes on a creamy coffee bitterness. The sourness and sweetness remain throughout and reassert themselves into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Creamy. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Is it really a Kölsch? I dunno but it goes down well.

[33cl bottle from Beer52.] A glossy black pour with a thick cream coloured head; yeasty aroma; smooth in the mouth with some licorice to start, then well toasted malts and an oaty body; the finish has some really bitter burnt grains. A pleasant dark lager.

Black beer. Thin head. Hoppy malt aroma. Like a black IPA stile lager this. Crisp hoppiness balanced with toasty malt and a lasting, zesty finish. Crisp and refreshing when chilled and balanced very nicely.
