From tap. Pours dark brown to black with a small off white head. Aroma is butterish and toasted malty. Bitter, toasted and dark malty, dry and solid hoppy. Herbal. Roasted finish.

Fresh and round, easy to drink, not too deep, smooth but very plain. The aftertaste is watery neutral, hints of malt with chocolate there, but nothing more. Sad.

Bottle. Black color with beige head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate. Taste is molasses, chocolate, bread. High carbonation. This brewery does not have full control of their bottling, I have to say.

75cl bottle. Fast schwarze Farbe, geringe bräunliche schaumkrone. Geruch süß malzig, schokoladig, rote Früchte. Geschmack süß malzig, schokoladig, leider eine störende hohe Karbonisation.

750ml bottle [received as a gift from Maddie - thank you very much for hunting down the latest Hamburg brewery!]. Jet black colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, reawakable, tan head. Roasty dark malty aroma, hints of cocoa, an ephemeral touch of blueberry and blackberry. Taste is moderately bitter, roasty dark malty, subtle chocolately, caramel malty sweetness, a touch of coffee, cautious hints of liquorice and blueberry; lively carbonation. Nice composition, but clearly overcarbonated and sadly a bit far from desirable smoothness and creaminess. Mouthfeel becomes better with short-term glass-shaking but seemingly transforms the aroma a bit in a doughy direction.
