Half pint draft at Taproom Ari, Bangkok. Appearance is dark opaque black with stillness of creamy tan froth which dissipates slowly. Stomachs roasted malts with hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste is similar, with the dark roasted malts predominating. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, thanks to the foamy carbonation, without biting too hard.
