Black with a foaming, beige head. Aroma is a mix of toffee—slightly burnt—coffee grounds, cherries, and toast. Roasted bitter with both fruity and caramel sweet undertones. Carbonation is a mess, way overdone for the style. Slightly oily, feels sparkling rather than smooth. Definitely needs some time in the glass. Ok.
