Golden body. Mild fruity hops in aroma and flavour sustained by earthy malts. Rather low hop rate. Smooth on the palate. Thin bodied. Drinkable, but anonymous (Sampled from gravicask at GBBF 05.08.2009).

Bottle from Chris O, thanks.
Opaque black color, small steady brown head. Burnt malts, licorice, paper, Mikkeller Black kind of liquid rubber in the nose. Lots of licorice, roasted malts, some sweeter notes. Very good althoug simple flavor, but background is a bit empty.
