It is a classical stout. It is dry, but there is a side watery, easy to drink for a stout, nice black color, beautiful creamy foam, at Sevilla, Santa Justa area, buying it at Madrid.

12oz bottle with no ABV at all. Pours near black with a very fine head, almost nitro like. Aroma is dark roasted grains. Beer is medium bodied, off dry with a nice depth of roasty grains & low bitterness.
Decent standard stout & more approachable than many.

12 oz bottle. Pours an opaque black color with a medium sized sudsy beige head that has fair retention. The aroma is somewhat mild blackened grains, a bit of chocolate and some caramel. The taste is well roasted grains, earth, trace of coffee and a bit of bitter chocolate. The palate seemed a bit thin and the carbonation was lively. Finished medium in duration with lingering bitter coffee. Overall: Decent stout--paired well with some BBQ potato chips.
