Tasting notes

Initially, the beer was slightly watery, but after 2–3 weeks of conditioning it developed much more flavour. The colour is dark, though slightly translucent. On the palate, it's a pleasant, light dark beer with very little bitterness. Head retention is rather poor, but that was expected.
