440ml can. Opaque, darkest brown colour with average to huge, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, dark beige to tan head. Roasty, dark malty and slightly grassy, minimally piney and fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of coffee grounds, some orange, mandarine, orange zest, whiffs of liquorice, later some raspberry as well. Taste is bitter, roasty, dark malty and bitter, minimally earthy, grassy hoppy, sweet-ish, caramel malty and slightly fruity, hoppy counterpart, notes of coffee, sugared coffee, hints of melon, orange, some liquorice, mandarine, orange zest.
Oily-watery texture, smooth, slightly greasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
Not the most exciting aroma, accordingly the comparatively rich and complex taste comes partly as a surprise; nice contrast of sweet and bitter flavours, kind of double contradiction: fruity hoppy sweetness vs. roasty malty bitterness and caramel malty sweetness vs. earthy, hoppy bitterness - pretty nice.
