Big bottle from shop in Qingdao, near the Qingdao brewery. Black with decent head. Smells of an array of malt sugars, all dark. Not necessarily complex but is clean with pleasant molasses, date sugars, and barley malts in the beginning, followed by good toasty flavors at the end and finishing with cocoa, licorice and pure barley malt. Pleasant.

Has a caramel brown colour. Caramel taste with some toasty, bready notes. There is some complexity to these flavours. Soft body with a sugary, slightly toasty flavour. Decent macrobrew dark.
