Dark in colour, this lager is strong and complex yet surprisingly smooth. Ideal for those who appear tough on the outside but are soft on the inside.

Draught, 8.1% abv, beer flight at Musa das Virtudes. Shared with frau Eva. Spotty lacing to the glassware from a dissipating beige head, deep dark brown body. Promising on the nose with smoothly roasted caramel- chocolate malts. Solid taste of caramel malts supported by prunes and liquorice. Smoothly roasted ending, mid-sweet. Fine depth. Good drinking. (Porto, 03.09.2023).

330ml bottle [6.9% abv]. Almost black colour with average, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Roasty, chocolately, slightly spicy, malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, liquorice, cocoa, a touch of celery, bready undertones with a touch of rye bread, pumpernickel. Taste is dry, roasty dark malty, slightly chocolately, notes of dark chocolate, liquorice, hints of coffee, cocoa, a touch of celery, dark caramel, whiffs of treacle, subtle sweetness, a bready touch of pumpernickel as well. Slightly creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, fine, soft carbonation. Nice spicy aspects, well balanced - pretty good, especially considering it belongs to the sub double digit abv Baltic Porter league.
