Drank at Praxis.

A: The body is black with little opaqueness, having a beige to brown head. Some good retention here.
S: The aroma has a little roastiness with some light, instant coffee in the back showing already that the roastiness here will be far from perfect.
T: The taste begins with a average coffee-like profile that turns out to have a very bad outcome in the end of the sip, showing way more roastiness than expected - I never had a beer with such a big roasty profile on malts, so much you can almost feel the burnt barley. It's weird.
M: The body is medium to low. Carbonation is good. Bitterness is average and sweetness is low due to the highly roasted barley.
O: It's not a terrible Euro Dark Lager. Actually, when you don't have that extra roastiness profile, it's quite a good drinkable beer - opposite from Topázio, but that profile specifically almost torns the flavour out. Sad.
