Bottle. Red/copper. Looks like a Spezi, i.e. a mix of Fanta and Coke. Nearly no head. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is oranges, lemons, malts, coffeeand chocolate. Aftertaste is long and bitter, full of hops and oranges. Low carbonation. Thin and watery. I expected this to be sweeter, fuller and creamier. Disappointing but still kind of ok.

Almost clear deep red - amber beer, a few pale tan bubbles do not form a head. Palate is light and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Tangy fruits - dark fruits and dried fruits and a touch of livening lemon. Traces of tea and spice. Light semi dry finish. Bitterish linger. Quite liked this, although more ESB than Sweet Stout.
