The bottle looks simple, but good, the beer in the glass is okay. Starts malty and dry, notes of liquorice, fruity like raisins. Finish not as dry as the beginning, still malty, a little bit smoky. Well balanced, quite drinkable!

Bottle: Dark chestnut-amber coloured, mid-sized, quite persistent beige head; almost dryish dark-malty nose with a touch of vegetables; light to moderate sweetish flavour with an impression of acidity, medium bodied, a bit sticky; a light malty bitterness in the sweetish finish. Not very good.......

(bottle) Dark brown, de facto black coloured hue with a mid-sized, slowly lacing tanned foamy head. Slightly sweet and leafy roast-malty aroma with burnt caramel and light herbal hoppy notes. Light-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Toast-malty and quite cardboard-like malty taste; slim and short toasty and slightly bitter finish (09.06.08).
