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.
