Poured into the Gouden Carolus mini-chalice. Black coffee colored with a head that disappears very quickly to leave no lacing or head. Sugary mouthfeel, but without the viscous feel.
Liquorice taste with a dark burned, smoked malt background. Warming hop finish completes the package.
Sweet, a nice RIS, but not my favorite.
