Basically lucid, dark brown beer with ruby tint and restrained, hasty carbonation unlocks a subdued, light beige head that falls short of half a finger. The weak foam descends rushedly to a frazil-icy lacing wafting on the top. Eventually the surface is totally flat still. The fragrance is truly mild, displaying merely slightly sweet dark malt, a little bit of molasses and a pinch of brown sugar. The taste portrays light-dry dark malt, a subtle injection of bitter syrup, faint molasses and a dark caramelly nuance. I also find a suggestion of licorice and a distant smoky aroma. The body is scanty. The beer ends with slightly bitter caramel, faintly roasted dark malt, a touch of soot and a remote smoky touch. The aftertaste plays with the tastebuds over medium duration. The mouthfeel is thin, remotely roasty, faintly lip-glueing and relatively flat.
