Roasty, malty beer with coffee. Rather well made but perhaps lacking in the character needed to make it really good.

(cask)My first experience with an old ale with such a low alcoholvolume. Funny and very good as a sessionbeer, I think. To me it was a mix between a dunkel and a bitter. Easydrinkable, but with tones of tar and peat in there somewhere, made my looking for my southwest a once. dark rubyred, no head. low aroma of earth and malts. Taste was as above, light, but with dark impressions.
