3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Strong aroma correlates well with the taste. Black appearance with bigh, dark brown head. Medium taste spectrum with original flavors of malts and coffee beans, but too roasted. Also there is some tangy flavor, that jumps up on the first bite, maybe something to do with that roasted flavor. Alcohol is masked properly and carbonation is OK. Adequate palate.
