Dark brown with no head...they never pour with any head...not even a little. Drives me nuts. The aroma is straightforward nutty-roasty. On the palate, it is simple and roasty with a mild nutty accent. The flavours are reaonably assertive, like a training wheels version of Sprecher Black Bavarian, but the body is closer to the likes of Stortebecker...not really a good thing. Ends up kind of in the middle, neither terribly characterful nor all that smooth.
