Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Skyview. Pours brown with an orange hue and a beige head leaving a discreet lacework. Sweet roasty nose, licore up there as well. Medium body, good roastiness bordering a little ashy. Ends with a slightly malt bitter finish. Straight and well made - delivers more than the color promised. 190412

Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours dark brown/black with a decent light tan head. Aromas of dark roast malt with coffee and chocolate. Rather full bodied with frothy carbonation. Flavor is coffee, dark roast/burnt malt and maybe a little chcoolate. The finish is slightly sweet. But the dark elements balance that. Not sure why this is perceived as thin by so many. Maybe cause it thins as the carbonation leaves?
