Glad you enjoyed it. Traded it for two sixers of Spaten Optimator today. I'll sip it this week...
The appearance is very dark amber, almost black. Very little foam. The first thing that comes to my mind in the smell was burnt apples. The taste is more bitter then I was expecting, but good, very malty. The mouthfeel was smooth, neither thick nor thin. Overall, this is not a bad beer, a bit malty, but I could get use to that.
