Pours a dark brown colour with a nice white head that stayes for a while. Aroma of coffee, spruce and some yeast. Flavour is pretty much the same. Low carbonation, and an okey mouthfeel. A very okey beer, nothing more.

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 FatPhil (7597) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - OCT 9, 2012
330ml bottle (Systembolaget, Stockholm)
Dark, and with a dark beige head. Sweet sickly roast aroma, treacle. More burnt in the taste, quite dry, not ashy though. Full palate, a little slick. Finish hasa a metallic tingle and is very dry. This is too harsh even if the first instant it was in your mouth it was briefly good. And what the heck is the commercial description supposed to mean? And where did it come from? That’s not what it says on the label. I may not know much spanish, but I know it didn’t say that. (It mentioned that it was a premium product, a dark munich style, with a chocolately taste, amongst other things.)
