Il gusto al naso ricorda orzo tostato e caffè. L’intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello è di schiuma compatta, cremosa, aderente ed ha una buona tenuta. Le bollicine sono medio-fini, con carbonazione media. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile, ma lascia intravedere il perlage costituito da bollicine fini con carbonazione persistente ed insistita. Il corpo è strutturato non pesante. Il dolce è medio e l’amaro è medio. L’intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa è buona e lunga. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è setoso, amarognolo, lungo, pulito e complesso. Il retrogusto è intenso. L’aroma in bocca riporta sentori di caramello, miele, cereali, caffè, pane tostato, resina, frutta secca, alcol presente non invadente.

Black colour, average head, slightly off-white, decent persistence, some lacing. Aroma has caramel malts, milk coffee and red fruits. Taste is on the sweet side with a slight hint of bitterness in the finish: buttery/milky sweetness, a light hint of roasted malts, slight red fruits, liquorice. Medium body, almost flat, decently creamy. Easy, and easily forgettable.

0.33l bottle from a sri lankan shop in bern. pours a hazy very dark chestnut with a steady beige head and a nice lacing. aroma of alcohol, toasted malts, cinnamon, caramel. flavour of alcohol, nuts, bread, bacon, slightly sour espresso. dry bitter finish. alcohol feels foreign and unnatural, as if in a beer-vodka cocktail.

Bottle at Cafe Karpershoek. Pours dark brown/black with a beige head. Aroma of smooth dark malt with a bit of hop. Flavor starts treacle. Very. This is not dry. Seems quite different from what we get in the U.S. of A.
