Bottle poured into a 16oz glass. Pours brown with a cream head and light lacing. Aroma is very fresh coffee with light, woody smoke. Taste is excellent. Very well balanced coffee, chocolate, light wood smoke. Smooth with a slight crispness. One of the better coffee beers I’ve had in awhile.

Bottle @ Chriso. Pours a dark amber color with a longlasting off-white head. Has a roasted malty coffee and chocolate aroma with weak smoky hints. Roasted malty coffee flavor with smoky hints. Has a roasted malty coffee and caramel finish with smoky hints.

Bottle at Chriso tasting, thanks Chris, 18/11/12. Dark mahogony brown with a thin tan head that clears to the edge and leaves a small film atop the glass. Nose is coffee forward, big coffee bean hit, roast malts, espresso coffee. Tastes follows the nose but the flavours are a little thinner. Coffee predominates, toffee, roast malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, roasted finish.

Bottle at Chriso Tasting, London. Thanks to Chris for more MA beer. Pours clear brown with a small, beige cream head. Filter coffee nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with earth, moderate coffee, light roast, some chalky chocolate. Light to medium bodied with average, creamy carbonation. Moderately sweet finish with toasted dark sugars, some bitter coffee. Great balance. Another strong showing from Jack.

50 cl bottle. Pours golden deep amber with a small tan head. Aroma is coffee malty, herbal and light smoked. Sweet, coffee, mild smoked and caramelish to chocolate. Mild bitter, smooth coffee and chocolate.
