33 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 18.01.2011
Aroma is roasted with milk chocolate, some oat and coffee. Flavour has chocolate, oat, some cocoa and hints of coffee. I’ve had couple of these, but every time this is just too thin and light for my taste. Even at a room temp.

A beautiful beer by samuel smith. The aroma is excelent and the color is dark brown with a light brown creamy head. Thank god for oats. The taste is chocolately with a hint of sweetness at the end. Choc. Malt was used for sure and maybe a hint of roasted malt or barley. Very good in deed no hop bitternes and no after taste. It was smooth and enjoyable with a medium/full body and it was great all the way to the last drop. Worth a buy and many rebuys.

Wow! Nearly black. Thick tan foamy head. Creamy malty taste, with some smokiness, almost like bacon. A bitterness on the tongue to balance the bodacious amount of malt.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Lowenbrau (325) - SPAIN - MAY 4, 2012
UPDATED: MAY 6, 2012 Bottle. Coffe, caramel and nuts aromas. Pours really dark, with nice creamy tan head, persistent, with some lacework. Oily texture, full body and low cabonation. Taste is some roasty, chocolate and sweet flavours. Average dry finish. Really nice brew, but palate-saturating.
