Near pitch black, probably clear. Light to medium sized greyish head, shows good enough retention and nice lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: dark malts with dark bread and a hint of coffee, dry floral notes and also a resinous hint, perhaps the lightest citric hints; more or less the aroma you'd expect from the style, but with a touch of softness/roundness on the back of things. Less round/soft in taste, with a relatively neutral malty base (though coffee notes are definitely there) and a quite resolute dry bitterness (floral notes, a bit of resinous/piney character), plus, again, citric hops hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. There sure is some sweet malty base, but it comes out as quite neutral from a taste notes point of view and the beer has a bitter edge in both taste and aftertaste, with a dry finish. Balance is okay for the style, but the beer feels slightly rough around the edges. Quite dense bodied, perhaps a bit less than you'd expect for abv, with average carbonation; quite lively and relatively easy to drink for the abv. Nice one on the whole.
