L- Very deep chestnut, pours with 2mm pale tan head that mostly clears quickly.
S- Distinctive toasty notes.
T- Coffee notes, dry on the front, perhaps due to a combo of hops+CO2, but then far too adjunct/sweet for my liking.
F- A combo of CO2 driven 'carbonic' dryness together with a sugary sweetness.
O- I'm looking over at my glass 1/4 way in and wondering whether this'll go down the sink. That's unusual for me (never mind at this price!), but overall it comes over reminding me of a sweetened thin black coffee. Very disappointing, and discarded.
