Flavor is similar, very pleasant malty chocolate and liquorice flavors in a balanced mix. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. Lovely. I like it a lot. Not nearly enough RIS like this nowadays.

Can at home shared with Laura. Opaque black color, quickly diminishing head. Aroma is heavy coffee and distant chocolate. Quite lovely. Flavor is malts, again heavy coffee but also sweet notes, vanilla perhaps, with firm chocolate as well in the finish. In the end I must admit, the sweetness is quite high. Nice firm coffee and chocolate without a doubt but I would've liked it to be a little less sweet.

Bottle at home. Unclear yellow to lightly orange color, medium to full sized white head. Aroma is malts, hayish hoppy, soft fruit hoppiness underneath. Flavor is malts, fruity hoppiness more pronounced in the flavor, though only a certain kind of fruitiness, not the tropical fruity ones or sweet ones. Hard to describe really. Maybe a bit yeasty as well. Drinkable.
