Jun 1, 2009 The beer pours a jet black with a deep reddish brown head and some decent retention. The aroma is complex with deep coffee and sweet roasty malt with a little cherry like sourness. The espresso dominates the flavor of this stout. The roasty flavors are abound and the beer is very bitter and mildly smoky with a nice little burnt toast thing going on. Are we sure this isn’t an imperial stout, this certainly rides the line if anything.

May 30, 2009 330ml bottle. Pours black with a huge creamy tan head that looks like a sponge. Nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and sweet malts. Big espresso flavor with dark chocolate, vanilla, and hint of balancing sweetness. Light and smooth on the palate. An excellent, drinkable coffee stout.

May 15, 2009 330ml bottle pours black liquid with a big beige long-lasting head. The aroma of strong coffe,malt,sweetness.Mouth feel medium and silky smooth. The flavor is lightly sweet. espresso, with a full malty light bitterness. There isn’t a complexity that would be nice, but the light espresso bitterness lingers on and on. Finishes with long chocolaty bitterness, dried fruit, and of course espresso. I wasn’t so sure of it at the first few sips, but it definitley grows on you. If you like coffe and you like beer, then kanpai!

Apr 29, 2009 Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Very black, beige head. Aroma of tabasco and espresso. Dryish and lightly sourish with strong coffee flavour. Medium bodied with heavyheanded roastiness. Long salty bitterness. Interesting and powerful, but also oily and a bit too sourish.
Svesse (2597), Hässelby, Sweden
Apr 28, 2009 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Pitch black colour with frothy, brown head. Roasted, malty nose with distinct notes of freshly ground, heavily roasted coffee and dark bitter chocolate. Roasted, malty taste with strong black coffee, cocoa powder, hints of dark fruit and prunes, and a dry finish with a generous coffee bitterness. Medium body with smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Dry. Maybe a bit one dimensional, but a lovely beer with and impressive coffee character.
