Clear dark brown to black beer, creamy bit irregular beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very sweet impression, lots of caramel notes, milk chocolate, some alcohol, good roast, more chocolate, little malty, some dried fruits, prunes. MF: very lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: soft roast, some chocolate, bit sourish, some dried fruits, bit of caramel, earthy. Aftertaste: some tobacco, bit sourish, caramel notes, some lactose, lactobacillus acidity, pretty bitter, some tannins, cocoa powder, dried fruits, some cola, CO2, dark cherries, good!
