Optisch ordentlich, feiner Cappuccino-Schaum. In der Nase malzig, ebenso im Trunk, dezent röstig, hinten nicht zu flach für die 4%. Kann man machen.

Can @ my uncle’s house in Lander, WY. Pours a deep brown appearance with a medium-sized dark brown head and some lacing. Aroma has char, burnt wood, toffee, chocolate, and cola. Light, thin body. Flavor is more coffee, chocolate, cola, and light campfire smoke. Low sweetness. Low boost. Not much of a market for low boost, mediocre flavor beers in this world.

Canned July 25th.
Not quite pitch black with oodles of tannish foam that’s long lasting.
Roasted malt smell with a hint of smoke and a milky lactose aroma.
Good roast but that lactose flavour detracts more than I wished. The tiniest hint of smoke doesn’t help much.
Smooth mouthfeel with rather light carbonation.
Drinkable but really not something I would buy again.

Sample at GABF 09/26/2015, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. Dark brown color with a medium thick beige head that diminishes steadily. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of smoked malt, coffee and chocolate. Light-bodied with a roasty malt and coffee character with some bittersweet chocolate in the background. The finish is roasty with a charred malt aftertaste. Decent overall.
