It is very dark in appearance, with a light brown creamy head.  The aroma is of sweet malts, mild coffee, with hoppy and spicy notes.

The taste is of sweet chocolate malt, that leads into a pleasing smooth coffee bitterness.  The beer finishes with a subtle plummy fruitiness, and hints of spice (probably owing to the coriander and orange zest used in the brewing process).
