500ml bottle. Jet black colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, fairly lasting and lacing, beige to tan head. Roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of coffee, roasted coffee beans, Kahlúa, hints of vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted hazelnut, biscuit. Taste is moderately bitter, roasty dark malty, notes of coffee, burnt coffee, some liquorice, lingering, bitter finish. Slightly too light body cannot fully compensate for the bitterness to reach perfect balance.
