Deep brown color with beautiful bubbles and lasting foam when poured. Aroma is roasted malt and mild coffee grounds. Flavor matches, coffee bitterness, wood, slight sweetness underneath. Easy drinking for a stout.

Clear amber colour, huge ecru-ish head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma of marmalade, honeycomb toffee, some grapefruity, piney and floral notes; hop-dominant taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; correct one

Negra opaca de muy abundante y cremosa espuma beige de excelente retención. Aroma a malta tostada, café, chocolate, notas ahumadas. Suave, oleosa, cremosa en boca. De amargor tirando a pronunciado. Buen sabor, con predominio de chocolate y café. Cuerpo medio y muy disfrutable.
