Auburn appearance; quite clear and produces a white fluffy head. Good retention and lacing.
On the nose, the roasted malt gives off some sweetness, caramel, roast and nuts.
Initial taste of roasted sweet malt, which then develops into nutty, earthy/woody notes and some coffee. There is also faint hints of chocolate and molasses at the back. Mildy bitter finish; no great deal of linger
Mouthfeel is a tad watery again. Feels good enough with mild carbonation and astringency, but nothing note-worthy. Medium bodied and smooth
Overall, its a deeper and more robust brew than the 'Original', but its just not got the complexity to make you want more.
My palate was pretty screwed by this point most probably, so I may come back to this one day and try it without being completely pissed, and having my mouth coated with wasabi peas and salty pretzels!
