500 ml bottle shared by Werckmeister, thanks!
Black body, with a small, dense, coffee-colored head.
Aroma of cocoa, coffee, smoke, dark fruits, some liquorice, some sauce, some sweet spices.
Tastes quite similar, with a bit more dark fruits.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes smooth, medium roasty, a bit sweet, a bit dark fruity, with some cocoa powder, some liquorice, slight coffee.
Very nice, although I was expecting more. Smooth and well balanced, but I’m missing some more character for such a highly rated beer. Not among my favourite style examples and definitely overrated in my humble opinion.
