Comment:
very dark brown, almost black; little beige foam; powerful aroma of bitter coffee, prunes, licorice and praline; very thick and sticky, oily; robust malt body; a bit salty, deeply bitter with a very long hoppy, bitter coffeish finish with more reminiscence of licorice and nuts - what a superb beer !
