375ml bottle. Cloudy, chestnut colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Weak, minimally toasty, nutty and chocolately, malty aroma, a touch of milk chocolate, coffee, nougat, equally weak, fruity hoppy overtones with a touch of red berries. Taste is sweet-ish, slightly toasty and nutty, minimally chocolately, dark malty, diluted hints of chocolate, nougat, toffee, coffee, a touch of malt lozenge, minimally leafy, hoppy overtones.
Watery texture, smooth and minimally dry palate, medium to fine, dense, prickly carbonation.
Not really simple, but very cautious and quite monotonous - boring.

Dark brown with a frothy head. Aroma of roasted grains, mineral water, chocolate. Taste has a very mild sweetness up front, mildly bitter and mineralic at the end. Medium-bodied, smooth, moderate carbonation. Simple but okay for casual drinking.
