Courtesy of Armando629, many thanks. Poured black, with a beige lacing head. Licorice, honey, ash, caramel, vanilla, and plenty of hops in the aroma. Light body with medium carbonation. Okay.

Courtesy of Armando, thanks! Szinte teljesen fekete színe van, a tetején vékony de kitartó habbal. Illata kissé fásan fanyar, fekete csokis, fahamus, neszkávés. Íze is hasonlít az illatára, kesernyésen, fanyaran, pörkölt magvasan. Krémes teste van és moderáltan buborékos. Utóíze picit fanyar, keserű és száraz. Érdekes kísérlet, nekem egy kicsit túl fanyar, de nem rossz.
