Black with high beige head. The smell is creamy roasted / burnt with some peat smoke. The taste pure, creamy and full bodied with burned toast, pumpernickel and lots oc caramel, the sweetness is very low. The aftertaste got growing bitterness and some biscuits.

A: Pours black. Coarse foam, quickly fading.
S: In general low in intensity. Roasty, light coffee and bread notes.
T: Slightly fruity. Light caramel/toffee notes and lingering coffee. Late astringency - light, pleasant. Also a late sour impression.
M: Medium/light body. A little low in carbonation.
O: Malt body seems covered by acidity and astringency. Lacking the smoothness of a Schwarzbier. Else interesting.

A:Pours very dark, almost black. The brown head is rather tall and quite compact at first, then it turns soapy.

S: Roasted dark semi-sweet malts, faint smoked notes in the back. Choclate and coffee, along with some faint vanilla. Nice, but a bit mild.

T: Still roasted but a bit sweeter. Malt is strong, but balanced by bitter hops. Chocolate and strong black coffee. A nice vanilla twist in the back.

M: Roasted and bitter long aftertaste. Rather full body for this style, very smooth. Mild carbonation.

O: Nice. Not very eastery, but nice.
