4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
One of the best black lagers I have had, great bottle packaging it is jet black in colour with a sold creamy head, aroma ranges from chocolate and coffee and because its made with lager and not ale malts it is still light and refreshing.

Un filo watery, una buona lager scura tutto sommato, na biretta di nome e dif fatto.
