The beer pours an opaque black colour with a huge brown head that disappears quickly. The aroma is dominated by the smell of alcohol with hints of roasted malt and coffee. The mouthfeel is full bodied, creamy, and carbonation is average. The flavour is dark chocolate, buts, roasted malt, and coffee. The alcohol is noticeable, but not as prevalent as in the aroma. -

The beer pours a translucent copper colour with a creamy off-white head which lasts and leaves good lacing. Effervescence is high. The aroma is grains, fresh bread, noblish hops, and aweak yeasty note. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is toasted grains, light hints of caramel, and a light hoppy finish. If I didn’t know any better, I would say that this beer is a Marzen / Oktoberfest. Whether it is, or isn’t….it’s a pretty good beer.
