Woody roastiness with berry fruitiness on the nose. Rather dry mouthfeel with flavors of woody blackberries, coffee bean and chocolate malty
fullness. Dark fruity tartness at the medium. A bit more mineral on the palate than what i prefer. Lasting dry finish with bramble hints. Good stuff. Geiserich (1781), Vienna, Austria

Creamy, brown head, brown to black color. Flavor is fruity with notes of berries, rich on burnt malt and coffee notes. Very dry, quite astringent and roasty finish.
