COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
’Broeder Jacob Double Espresso’ is a perect marriage, according brothers Johan Claes of Brewery Broeder Jacob and business man Wim Claes of coffee-roasting factory Java. This dark brown beer holds an alcohol percentage of 7,7%. The used coffee which will be mixed during the brewing, is made the Turkish way, before adding this to the process. The beer is available in bottles of 75 cl, but from next year it will be available in small bottles of 33 cl and kegs as well.

Borresteijn (3647) - Amsterdam, - FEB 10, 2013
Tap sample at In de Wildeman. Clear dark copper to brown colour, off-white head. Aroma of Christmas spices, brown sugar, candied fruits, amber malts, ground coffee. Flavour is likewise, with a nice coffee flavour and good bitterness. Light to medium-bodied. Decent Belgian Strong Ale, came across as a Belgian winter ale with coffee added. Nowhere near a stout as stated here on RB, that must be a mistake.

I was hoping for something that would actually taste like coffee.. very dissapointed in this one.. especially that i had been keeping it for over 6months. It’s a very clean beer, with a slight coffee aftertaste. The over-use of sugar makes this beer pretty lame for me.

Ungstrup (26261) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - APR 27, 2013
Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and dusty hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, vanilla, roasted malt, and malt, leading to a dry roasted finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Marko (3612) - Split, CROATIA - MAR 22, 2013
On tap at Fiere Margriet, Leuven. Porued a clear dark amber-brown body with an off white head. Fine malty, slightly spicey and fruity aroma with very light coffee. Umm.... I expected a huge coffee assault and it didn’t deliver, but there definitely is a certain presence. Nice, sweetish malty backbone. Bitter finish. Definitely pleasant stuff.
