THe colour was very deep red amber black, and there was a light head. The aroma had light malt and chocolate. The taste showed tannic wood and dry malt. This won a silver at the Australian International Beer Awards. Here's their description: A rich malty black beer with hints of caramel and chocolate. Slightly hoppy with a dry roasted finish. Tall Black's deep chocolate colour and caramel sweetness are derived from the heavily kilned and roasted malts. Tall Black is best served at a slightly warmer temperature of 10-12 degrees centigrade.
Note 1: I am not really a beer expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these beers. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular beer, on my recommendation, and then regret it!
Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these beers, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
