Pours clear reddish brown into a glass. Offwhite head is two-three fingers high, sparse, foamy with moderate retention. Sudsy lacing is left behind.
Aroma is mild; roasted grains, toffee, nutty biscuit malts. The flavour follows on; smoky grains, some light malts, and mild bitterness on the back end with an underlying mineral water taste.
Mouthfeel is thin and watery; there's some carbonation but not much.
Quite forgettable. The flavours are too mild, and the body too thin.

500 ml bottle.
Dark brown, clear body topped by a large, foamy bone-colored head.
The mild aroma doesn't suggest a flavor nearly as rich as I find upon tasting.
Feel: soft carbonation in a medium body. Very smooth.
Worked well my pasta with a tomato-buffalo-onion sauce.

Bottled and thankfully not clear glass
For a start it's more brown than dark very thin very watery and slightly chalky taste with hardly any body and no real aroma
