Bottle. Malty aroma. Poured red-brown with a lasting pale tan head. Malty flavour with a medium to thin body. Ordinary beery finish. This beer began better than it ended, but I would drink it again.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours completely black and opaque with a dense, creamy, light brown head leaving laces. Very burned aroma. Medium body with a very smooth mouthfeel, distinct flavours of burned malt and a high degree of sweetness - this really comes close to a Sweet Stout. Burned, bitter finish. 290307
