Pours clear, very dark ( Near black). Smell is roasty, tad lactose. Vanilla and almond are more hidden, but can be traced. Almonds burst out after a while in the glass though. Taste is full on roasty, clashing by it's provided roasty bitterness, to the sweetness by the lactose. Coffee, pure and intense coffee bitterness. Vanilla doesn't really show. Almonds are there throughout the whole taste, and even though they're clear, they do give way for the roastyness and coffee bitter à bit. As it warms up, almonds get stronger here as well.

330ml can. Poured a hazy medium amber with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, woody floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a grainy, herbal, floral perfume hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Rather poor. This beer was not in the best
