Appearance: Very dark ruby. Not black. Off white head with big bubbles and poor persistence. Traditionally this beer is supposed to have low carbonation but mine is disappointing in that it does not have that nice thick foam of a Guinness.
Aroma: It smells to me black coffee with addition of nutty malty character. I don't get hop aroma.
Taste: Like black coffee with a bit of malty character. I taste a bit of sweetness, but that might just be a malty note. Aftertaste is slightly harsh and lingering. Might be a bit of acridness. Low hop bitterness as far as I can tell.
Mouthfeel: Low carbonation, medium body.
Overall: OK, not my best, but not sure what if anything is wrong with it. Tastes to me like a mild but with more body. My wife doesn't like it because of the acridness in the aftertaste. I've entered it into a comp.... hope to get some helpful feedback.
