330ml bottle. Clear, chestnut colour with average to huge, frothy, decently lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Slightly roasty, malt-spicy aroma with a nuttily touch, dusty yeasty overtones. Taste is moderately bitter, roasty dark malty, some malt-spiciness, a dry nuttily touch; (too) lively carbonation.
