Draft @ ZBF’12. Brune, col épais beige. Arôme est de pur café, on a difficile à décrocher son nez du verre, un fin houblon se pointe en retrait, mais le tout reste juste café et encore café sans pour cela être surfait. En bouche, café est partout dans un bon sens, laissant des notes expresso/moka et toffee avec un malt grillé, le tout agrémenter par un houblon subtile. J’en redemande.

Medium brown colour. Aroma has fruity raisin and roasted coffee. Creamy mouthfeel. Warming malts and bitter chocolate and coffee flavours.

Poured dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of coffee and roast malt,. Fairly full body, flavour is more like a strong latte. End is quite bitter, but still with some creamyness.

Zythos Bierfestival 2012, Leuven, Belgium. Pours murky mahogany with copper edges and full tan head of foam. The aroma is straight up coffee like Folgers coffee and something a little richer. The taste is pretty nice with fairly rich coffee notes rolling into espresso notes, some nuttiness and a bit of toffee like goodness that enhances the experience. This has several layers of coffee and various malt and toffee nuances that creates a rather yummy like harmony.

0.75 Litre bottle shared at the Diester Bierfestival on 20 Oct 2012. Dark brown with a good solid head of tan coloured foam. Intense coffee flavours: the nose and taste are just infused completely with fresh ground coffee, or that is how it seemed. Stay away from this if you don’t like coffee (there is a hint in the beers name). Rich and heavy, really enjoyed it: had to have a glass of water afterwards though or I’d not have tasted anything else bar coffee all afternoon.

75 cl. bottle shared with the group. Procured from ALBO. Dark brown with an okay beige head. Nose is iron, light malts, light chocolate & light plain brewed coffee, not the strongest of noses. Taste is bitter, pure brewed coffee, cold coffee in a good way, light mocha, bitter spices, light liquorish, sweet chocolate, some roast, agreeably bitter roasted coffee beans in the back, cacao, herbs,… Medium body – taste very much like cup of coffee in a good way. Mission accomplished one could say.

Draft at de fiere Margriet, Leuven. Red to brown colour with thick off whte head. Nice bitterness with coffee, nuts and caramel. Nice taste, coffee not dominating but adding to the flavour.

thnx to someone at my tasting - dont know who for sure - pours brown, small white foam. no real overwhelming smell . coffee, bit sweet, sugary, bitter, bit coffee in the aftertaste. not as intence as expected, at all !

Black colour, tan head. Aroma of coffee and malts, loads of coffee, light hops. Flavour of coffee, light sweetness, quite light and thin, much less than expected from the nose. Finish coffee.
One of the best Broeder Jacob beers I’ve tasted to date.
(Draught @ ZBF ’12)

sample at the monthly molen Tuesday tasting. thin off white head. clear amber pour. nice coffee in the aftertaste
