Black. OK dark tan head as poured, with some surface retention and OK to good lacing. Dark roast, almost burnt, coffee aroma, sweeter, chocolatey, under. Cadbury’s Caramel with a hint of Biscoff taste, more strongly caramel after. Slightly viscous, with tiny sharp bubbles. Not sure if I’ve had Matcha before, don’t know how this compares.

Murky amber brown. Some light tan creamy head as poured, with very good retention and solid lacing. Sweet, fruity malt aroma. Caramel malt taste, chocolatey similar after. Effervescent creaminess. However: clears a lot as it settles, taking a lot of the body, flavour and even, oddly, aroma with it. Stuff in bottom of glass – end of barrel sediment?
