Black in color with a khaki head. The nose is pretty acidic. A lot of roast, some floral heather notes, and a touch of vinegar tartness in the background. The flavor is surprisingly bitter. Quite roasty with some cocoa and coffee. A bit of heather and floral flavor in the background. Not a big fan of this one.
