Black with a foamy to frothy beige head. Very mild aroma of ashes, amaretto, and stale chocolate does little to invite sniffing. Taste is pleasantly bitter up front, sweetening at the end with milk chocolate notes over a mild tartness. Medium-bodied, mild carbonation, oily. Okay but forgettable.

Bottle from Beersofeurope. Pours a pitch black colour with a medium sized creamy beige head. Aromas of roasted malts, chocolate and coffee. Taste is more of the same notes as the aroma. Medium bodied, very smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. A long roasty, ashy and slightly bitter finish. Nice one
