4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
A black beer with a beautiful, medium and light brown head. Aroma is strongly roasted, lots of strong coffee, some milky sourness and hint of vegetables. Taste is great, roastiness, coffee, balanced sweetness and bitterness; very tastefull. Taste isn’t very complicated and not strong either, but still very enjoyable. Full bodied, velvet like smoothy and very pleasant to drink. Tastefull and pleasant beer, velvety drinkability meets smooth coffee and together they built up the great alliance.

[bottle] shared by Armin. Thanks! Pours hazy deep brown with a large tan head. A carbonated Dutch stout? Who would have guessed!? Aroma of lightly green coffee grounds, dusty chocolate, and light smoke. Flavor is green coffee grounds, lightly vegetal, dry, dusty, old chocolate. The finish is dry and gritty.

Bottle opened with a slight hiss with a nice carbonation, worried about infection a bit. Nice dark brownish black pour with nice tan head, aroma has notes of nice caramelly, milk chocolate like coffee, some hints of caramel, vanilla, toffee, hints of roast in there as well. Taste is a mix of bitter coffee, chocolate, hints of dark fruit, roasted malt, toffee, vanilla, slight bitter booze, finishes fairly dry, slightly gritty finish. Pretty decent.

Bottle pour from Armin. Thanks man! Pour is a slightly hazy very dark brown, with a large mocha head with fair retention and a bit of lacing. Aroma is booze laced wet coffee grounds and chocolate. Taste is nice coffee and chocolate, with a fair bit of oak and booze. Very coffee forward. Mouthfeel is slightly gritty coffee grounds. Nice.
