Black beer with a tiny light brown head. Roast malt aroma with licorice and leather. Deep dry flavour, roast with some tar and mud and maybe a little sour note. A lighter cousin of the Danish "Limfjordsporter" (which is half porter, half strong stout)? Thatโs the highest acclaim a stout can get from me.
