Brown colour with amber-copper highlights, a light-beige bubbly head, average retention and a few foamy spots of lacing. Roasted malt nose with chocolate notes, rusty water and coffee. The mouthfeel is slightly thinner and has a little dryness in the end. A mild toasty taste with the roasted grains and some light hops in the finish. A decent Schwarzbier with toasty notes and enough hops that goes down easily..
