500ml bottle (Kontori, Tampere)
Super coffee aroma, and amazingly tastes of coffee too. Odd that, given that they doped it with coffee. Beer where? However, it’s a super tasty drink so I can’t complain too much even if it’s a bit gimicky.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Nocturne (381) - Cheshire, ENGLAND - MAY 15, 2012
Draught at Fermentoren. Black pour. Coffee and chocolate jump out immediately in the aroma along with something I couldn’t put my finger on at the time. Walking back from the bar I realised it was liquorice. Lots of it. Nicely sweet, sharp and bready taste. On the whole a good milk stout, but not completely to my liking.
