Black beer, brown fizzy head which soon things out to a film. Rich smell of toasted malt and chocolate. Taste has vanilla, chocolate, malt, a little coffee. Fairly straightforward flavours but it's rich and smooth and really very tasty and the balance is really.good.

Can. Light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a light sweetness. Trace of bread. Some lager tang in the mid. The Tettnang hops are a little piney have some typically noble hop floral pep and spice, just a whisper of pithy citrus. Light finish leaves a tangy and mildly bitter linger. Clean and drinkable.
