440ml can into pint glass. From Beer Cartel. Poured at room temperature, made the widget a bit excited! The beer eventually settles into an obsidian black with a large creamy coffee coloured head. Notes of milk chocolate, coffee and distant liquorice in the nose. Light body but not watery, smooth texture. Very easy to drink. Finish is lingering and dry with bitter coffee notes, quite subtle really. Very pleasant, a bit of a lightweight but I bet you could drink quite a few of these in a session.

Barwa złota, zamglone, piana biała, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.

W aromacie mało cytrusów, estry, lekki karmel, trawa.

W smaku półwytrawne, karmel, estry, cytrusy, owoce tropikalne, lekki jakby mocz.

Goryczka do średniej, wysycenie średnie, ciała nieco za dużo jak na styl.

Niezłe
