Aroma of roasted malts - coffee. Cloudy, dark brown/black coloured with not even a short thin off-white (brown) head. Taste is sweet, coffee malty with some hops and a quite bitter finish. Sticky brew. No balance at all.

Cola appearance, including the quickly disappearing ugly head. Aroma and flavour of roasted malts, quite bitter. I think De Roos tried to brew a stout-like beer, but it didn’t totally work out. OK the first few sips, but bland and uninteresting after awhile.

Dark brown color, short dying head. Aroma is quite alcoholic, some black malts. Taste of coffee and licorice with a bitter malty palate. The bottle also said 'proefbrouwsel', which means this one is on trial. I wonder if it's going to pass the test then.
