Optisch schwarz wie die Nacht, grobporiger Schaum. In der Nase Malz, im Trunk überraschend röstig, Schoko, Kaffee, sehr intensiv für die schlanken 4%. Wunderbar.

0.473 l can from 'Beer Republic'. Black with a massive, foamy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity and a bit roasty aroma of caramel, toasted nuts, some dark fruits and a touch of chocolate. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently roasty and slightly fruity taste of caramel, cocoa, coffee, dark fruits and a touch of ash, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter, slightly dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty Mild, loads of flavour for such a low abv. Good!

Thanks Pisano for sharing! Solo cup showing dark amber to brown with sparse latte colored foam.

The nose shows light notes of tea and biscuit.

The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Lightly astringent with hints of bready biscuit and a mild tea bitterness.

Can bought at Utobeer, Borough Market. Aroma combines coffee, malts and light berries. Dark and glossy, thin of appearance. Foamy light beige head. Initial tangy berries with watered down coffee streak. Underlying sugary fruit and malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on watery. Flat-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable. For me, seems like a good take on the style.
