Opaque colour and no head. Cocoa, alcohol, lactose in the aroma. Full-bodied. Very sweet, coffee, cyrup, vanilla, quite boozy too. Okey.

No head, black beer. Vanilla and liqueur. Some coffee and chocolate in the background. Sweet, woody-bitterish (roast, not hoppy) flavour, almost cloying. Sicky sweet, some invisible carbonation. Way too sweet, and that's putting it mildly. Yet, in some way, they've made it palatable. Just.

Smell of vanilla, roasted malt. Black colour, negligible head. Aroma of roasted malt, vanilla, molasses. Very sweet. Lively carbon. Oily texture. Overwhelming.
