440ml can. Poured a mostly clear dark brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, chocolate. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a light roasty, chocolate, fake saccharine sugar, light liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Sweet and sugary. Not the worst beer in the world by far, but it quickly became a little sickly.
