A golden beer with a nice head - though fast disappearing. The aroma is fresh and dominated by hops but also with malt notes. The taste is primarily refreshing - with a nice malt sweetness and a slight bitterness - a well balanced beer and great for a lager.

The aroma is very creamy. Good body, sweet, also roasty, and very milky.
Nice.

Black color; good head, beige, creamy. Aroma of roasted malts, a bit oxidised; metallic too. Some milky roasted malt flavor not deep, with some oxidisation. Medium bitterness. Stale.

Very dark beer. The aroma shows more the roasted malt and the malt than the coffee. The flavor has malt, roasted malt, caramel, liquorice; soft, quite good.

Black colour, big head, thick. Almost no aroma, just a little metallic. Some sweetness and roasted malt bitterness, no character.

Pale yellow. Fizzy, sweet and bland. This succeeds to be even more boring than the rest of the SAB line.

I only had it once, but I've had it three hundred times, if you know what I mean.
