Amber-red. The palate is a bit husky, but also a bit toasty and caramelly as well. The aroma is mostly caramel. OK for what it is.

Very dark. Not much nose. Has the typical burnt fruit and bitterness of an impy, but the malts are husky and thin. OK.

Medium brown. Citrus hop nose. Hoppy fruit, toasty, slightly chocolatey malt. Finishes dry, clean and lagerish. In a way, that dry clean lager finish is obviously what is intended with this beer, but it doesn’t add anything. This beer needs a sugary ale finish.

Dark brown. Thin, lightly fudgey. Watery finish. Disappointing shadow of a schwarzbier, like the kind you get in a can in Germany.
