Black with nice lace and retention. Nice coffee aroma but slightly ashy too. Nicely dry finish with smoky hops. Lightly watery body but redeemed some by lingering hops dryness.

has a fine, foamy, porous beige head atop a black body, while the head has fair retention but negligible lacing. Sweet mocha aromas predominate amidst some brown sugary maltiness. Unlike the sweeter aroma, the coffee flavour is more drying in the mouth leading to a greater balance than anticipated. Medium in body with virtually no carbonation, it would be finely creamy to the mouth were it not for the present warmth. Good, and enjoyable, but not a must find. Grade: B/B+
