Sample from 33 cl. bottle. Clear, golden colour with a thin, white head. Sweet aroma with fruits, grass and cardboard. Taste is light sweet. Medium body with a creamy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter with grass and cardboard. Rather uninspiring, not unpleasant.

Bottle - Roast, sweet milky and some syrup. Deep black with almost no head. Molasses and syrupy chocolate with a long light bittersweet finish. Nice.

Pours brown, brown and thin layer of foam. Aroma not really there, maybe too too cold - but not getting much even when it warms. Taste is warming, sweet, alcohol kick and liquorice with some dark fruits. Beer for a cold winter night. More like a sweet porter for me, not so much of a stout. Good.
