Pours a big but short-lived beige head on top of a rich brown body. Roasted malts and toasted bread. Slight malty sweetness and moderate bitterness. Low carbonation that drifts away. Light-to-medium body but a little watery. A rather nice dark beer and a pleasant surprise at the price.

Pours a dark color with a big top of beige head. Aroma is of roasted malts, coffee, bread, some slight notes of nuts and chocolate.
The taste is sweet with bread,roasted malts and coffee notes in the background.
It starts good, but get a little weak and watery in the finish. Slightly bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and clean with a medium carbonation and a medium body.
All in all not bad, but nothing very exiting about it.

Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Superficially black but with a light behind ultra-deep garnet red. Pours clear with a 3mm pale tan head. Ps@+10mins, head holds well and forms, er... beyond lacing, it's forming a near continuous thin layer of foam down the sides... most unusual!
S- Some deep roasted malts.
T- A good roasty flavour, overall the hops take it over into the trad (ie dryer) side, as expected.
F- It has a good feel to it, the balance is good. It would make a good beer for cooler months. It could be but challenging a Guinness fan to do a side-by-side blind-taste with a glass of this; I think beer is waaay better.
O- Surprisingly good and satisfying; I'd very happily enjoy this again. If I could buy this locally in Germany (ie much more cheaply) I'd happily buy this by the case as an Autumn/Spring beer. As a $pecialist import, it's harder to source and justify the price as an ongoing buy.
Review1991/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the lables to see what I missed! ==> Ingreds incl, wheat and barley malt, hops and hop extract.
500ml bottle BB: 04/07/2022 £2.50 Bought from TremblingMadness, York/UK as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.

Cerveza de color marrón oscuro, de baja carbonatación y con un cuerpo medio. Aroma a tostado, malta y chocolate. En boca es una cerveza suave, dulce, con un sabor a caramelo y un poco de chocolate que se hace agradable al paladar.

From Alcampo. In Bavaria glass. After dinner. Watery, with roasted-metallic notes that at first displeased me but in the long run I got used to and even enjoyed. Very foamy, requiring 2 pours, but with a pretty foam
