Bottle at Papsø’s - Thanks. Clear dark brown - offwhite head. Nice coffee, sharp fresh grounded coffee, coffee beans, nice malty, smokey, sweet malty, light body, light hoppy, light chocolate. A bit thin.

12 oz bottle into English pint. Pours almost black with a thin beige head. Aroma is nice and strong coffee, bread and a vague unpleasant off-note (cooked vegetables?) that’s not offensive enough to bring the aroma score down too much. Taste is sweet and a bit sour. Carbonation is medium-high, body is medium, mouthfeel is creamy. I like it, but it’s not on the same caliber as the Mt. Shasta Shastafarian Porter I had right before this.

Bottle at Papsø. Clear brown coloured with a medium sized beige head. Sweet and roasted aroma of coffee with notes of dark chocolate. Sweeet and roasted flavour of coffee. Roasted finish of coffee.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Pours a clear dark reddish brown with a creamy light brown head. Dry, clean coffee aroma. Medium body, sweet roasted malt, vanilla and some dried fruit - and then again distinct coffee notes. Dry coffee bitter finish. Well made. 220611

very dark brown, small light brown head, roasted stuff and coffee in the aroma. slighly dusty.. flavor is roasted stuff, coffee.

Bottled. A dark red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of coffee, roasted malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, roasted malt, and bread, leading to a dry roasted and coffee finish.

Bottle @ home. Dark brown/black appearance with a dark brown head. Quite roasty dark coffee, a touch of chocolate sweetness, and dark malts in the nose. Very roasty, dark coffee, chocolate, dark malty flavor with a fair amount of bitterness.

Bottle. Perfectly black body with traces of an orange tinted beige head. The nose is fairly strong coffee with some hints of ash. There is also some sweet almonds. The taste has lots of coffee up front and through the finish. The finish is slightly tart like plums, and certainly off putting. I am not sure if it is too much poor coffee or a slight infection. I have gotten this weird tart character in multiple coffee dominated beers, so I assume it’s poor balancing. There is also wood and ash, especially in the aftertaste. The body seems chalky, but that may be because I can’t think anything but ash covered fruit while drinking. Bleh, this comes across like a bad cherry stout that someone used to extinguish a cigarette.

On tap at Bridgeport with Jeff. Pours a deep brown/black with tan foam. Smells of coffee. Tastes of coffee and vanilla. As a non-coffee drinker, this is possibly the best coffee beer I’ve had.

At Beckett’s Slightly dry porter with a strong coffee flavor. Starts more sweet ends drier and more bitter. Serving: Bottle
