275ml bottle from Tesco ethnic section - Jet black with a thin tan top. Nose of liquorice, ash and coffee grounds. Taste is like a milky strong coffee, with a soft carbonation and lubricious mouthfeel making it even smoother, Not much in the finish, but it is still a very good little drink.

Bottle at home. It pours near black with a small tan head. The nose is sweet, brown bread, earth, fruit cake and brown sugar. The taste is cheap chocolate, brown sugar, cocoa, watery, treacle, toasty and earth with dry finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. So-so, but pretty easy going.

The beer starts malty, slightly grainy. Crisp and not too sweet. The mainpart is fullbodied, slightly grainy and a bit metallic till the end. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, malty-grainy and a bit bitter-metallic. --> not bad, drinkable, but nothing great! --> 6/12/5/6

Big thanks to kevnic2008 for that bottle. Looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, small head. Starts malty, modest spicy, a bit sweet. Finish less intense, mild malty, a bit grasy-moldy. Okay.

Bottle, picked up in Romania of all places. Pours ultra clear yellow with a small fizzy white head that dissipates quickly to a residual ring and some lacing. Aroma is corn syrup, grain, and a bit of grass. Flavor is about the same, fairly sweet and a bit of grassy hay bitterness. Light body, high carbonation. Not terrible for what it is.
