330 ml bottle. Dark brown body, with a big, creamy, lacing, dark beige head. Aroma of caramel, toast, cocoa, dark chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, some vanilla. Tastes quite similar, with more toast, brown sugar. Medium, a bit creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes medium roasty, medium sweet, a bit dry, with toast, cocoa powder, brown sugar, caramel. Good. Don't get much of the Mannerschnitte, except some vanilla and cocoa notes. Quite straight, with lots of toasty and sweet notes, a bit too sugary maybe. Solid Stout overall. Score: 6 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 13
