Cola oscura, casi negra. Super abundante espuma, ligeramente tintada. No muy densa, aspecto de magdalena hinchada, pero espectacular. Aroma principalmente a chocolate. Cremosa y suave en boca, con un sabor excelente y buena carbonatación. Rica, rica malta tostada, con cierto dulzor. Café tostado en el postgusto. Buen cuerpo. Gran stout, a excepción de cierto gusto metálico que impide que sea excelente. En todo caso muy buena.
