Deep dark brown beer with obedient carbonation unlocks a tawny head that falls short of two fingers. The short retention kills the head hastily to a hair-thin lace ring on the top.
Brown sugar and roasted malt are the two key inputs of the scent. Shy molasses follows behind the main crew. Not a huge success so far.
Hopefully the taste profile gives more details to analyze. Let me sip. Molasses, brown sugar, dark chocolate, raw cacao powder, a bit of bitter syrup, resin, even a suggestion of vanilla. That's a solid load! Then, something really interesting: a hint of fruity sherry. Where did that come from? Even traces of foeder can be spotted. Quite unique indeed!
The body is medium. Somebody could say that the body is this beer's weakest link. Well, sort of, although the fragrance didn't impress me either. Sherry foeder intensifies in the end. And as you look all around at the world in dismay, what do you see, do you think we have learned? Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray, out in the streets where the aftertastes are burnt; we're blood brothers.
The mouthfeel is medium, a tad dry, roasty, lip-glueing and balanced. Overall, relatively enjoyable in my opinion.
