5.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
(bottle) Murky dark brown, almost black colour with giant yeast floaties and a short foamy tanned head. Very shy aroma of slightly sweet roasted malt with dark cacao powder and coffee. Bitter flavour, medium bodied, smooth carbonated. Quite dry roastmalty taste with chocolate; slightly sweet malty and slightly bitter finish with a low dose of hops, but with traces of alcohol. Still a decent brew.

(bottle) Clear golden effervescent hue with a big foamy and slowly lacing white head. Quite dusty, slightly sweet worty malty nose with a tinge of herbal hops. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to light bodied, sweet malty initial taste, grainy with a faint fruitiness, quite balanced hoppy bitterness in the slim finish. Drinkable pre-"Gold" beer with a round sweetness - bitterness ratio.
