440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a very short-lived, fizzy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, coffee, light vanilla. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter, with a light, watery, roasty, dry coffee, liquorice bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation. Too light for a stout and over carbonated.

Black beer, thin brown head. Decent coffee aroma.Flavour is predominantly coffee. A little sweet malt, a touch of the vanilla and a toasty, malt edge to it. A hint of something around the edge of the tongue but that could just be carbonation. Very sessionable.

Tap at Ambasada, the end of the keg. Muddy brown body, off-white head. Coffee and nutty notes nice enough in the aroma. Lean, dry, nutty coffee taste, with light citric undertones, which would be fine, but there's some yeastiness dulling it down, so a slightly gifted 3.4.
