Pours a beautiful, clear mahogany with a nice, staying, frothy beige-grey head. Sweet, fruity aroma, lots of prunes and plums with a touch of metal and chocolate. A bit thin mouthfeel. Flavour is rather dry and roasted, some clear metallic notes, some slight chocolate at the end. Tolerable, but not very good for its type.
