Tap at Zil verne. Medium body, medium carbonation. High sweetness, lots of lactose, med-light bitterness. Lots of cocoa, chocolate, light blueberry. Rather low coffeish deep roast. Good, not bad, but too sweet, out of balance.

Tap at The Garden with Karlo. Pitch black body, tan head. Creamy caramelly aroma, cocoa and blueberry mainly. Creamy pleasant cocoa-driven taste, some milk vsramel, ending sweetish and fruity-tart with a mild bitterness. Good stuff, love the chocolate profile!

Can, 0.44l. Deep brown pour, two finger creamy beige head, medium retention, sticky lacing on the glass. Sweet on the nose, bread, chocolate, light sour-ish blackberry notes in the background. Medium body, medium carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, slightly sticky, fizzy, somewhat lighter then expected. Sweet taste balanced with mild roasty bitter notes and subtle fruity tart. Aroma of caramel malt, cocoa, bread. Light chocolate and blackberries in the background. Lingering sugary sweetness. Medium lasting finish, sticky, slightly dry. Not bad but plenty of better ones out there.
