Almost black with a frothy, beige head of modest duration. Tootsie roll aroma . A bit od chocolate but with candy notes. Faintly artificial. Taste is bittersweet with dry, grainy roasted tones dominant up front. Slightly sweeter at the back with a hint of milk chocolate. The slightly odd fruitiness from the hops doesn’t come off well and takes an artificial tone. Medium. Moderate watery. Could use a little chewiness. Mild carbonation. Ok
