Pours a nice ruby brown with a quickly bubbly head. Aroma is dark roast, chocolate, nutty and some molasses. A little raisin and brandy type sweet alc tones as well. Flavour was surprisingly pleasant. Nutty medium roast malt flavour, some weak coffee tones, light burnt bitterness. Overall very drinkable, smooth yet enough flavour to justify buying.

Dark brown, clear, moderate head. Toasty, slightly burnt malt aroma. Flavours of darkly roasted malts, chocolate. Comes across as more of a schwarz style.
