500ml bottle [courtesy of Lukas, thanks a lot!]. Jet black colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, dark beige to tan head. Chocolately, dark malty and minimally doughy, yeasty aroma, some chocolate, a touch of toffee, hazelnut flavoured coffee, whiffs of pumpernickel, plum, plum butter. Taste is sweet-ish, sugary, minimally spicy, dark malty, hints of liquorice, liquorice root, treacle, some celery, fruity overtones of plum, plum butter, plum wine; minimally ashy finish. Oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation. Quite some style adequate flavours, sadly all in (at least for me) low quality, not overly tasty mode - bummer!
