Poured a deep brown hue with a one finger foamy white head. There was good retention and lacing.

The smell featured light roasted malts and a soft sweetness.

The flavor was likewise round and moderately roasty with a grassy hop at the finish.

The mouthfeel was typical of the style.

Overall a tasty easy drinking beer.

look: 3 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.75

Poured into a beer mug.

Look: The color of coffee in a glass, with ruby coming through in the light. A fizzy soda pop head recedes to a light film. Light spots of lacing on the glass.

Aroma: Faint grains, roasted malts, maybe coffee. Smells like an adjunct lager.

Taste: There's coffee in the finish. Everything else is very much in the vein of a non-skunky Euro lager.

Mouthfeel: Light and carbonated.

Overall: Really, no complexity or taste. Only tried it out of curiosity, and you know what that did to the cat ...
