Poured out a very dark brown with a small light brown cap. WOW. Rank initial aroma. Thankfully this comes around. Stinky coffee filter, sweetness, some roast, on occasion on the back end of the aroma I can find the dark chocolate and the chocolate-orange aromas. However, this faint smell is very hard to find consistently. The taste is mostly of cold coffee, filter stuff, large roast, more bleck coffee, a light hop, odd spice and a bit of sweetness. Feels like I just ate a cigarette. I don’t like this at all. Why is there zero chocolate / orange taste?

THANKS KAARE!! For sharing this exclusive beer. Brew looks brown with no cap, very ordinary looking. COFFEE BOMB aroma with sweet malts hints of toast & chocolate, I can’t find the orange. The aroma is not pleasing me. Flavor is sour to me with coffee, dark chocolate weak roasted malts no evidence of the orange but hints of vanilla when warmer. This brew has zero appeal for me, it’s the first dud Alley Kat has had in a while.
