4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Pours black with some tan head. Tons of chocolate on the nose with coffee and a little roasted malts punching through. Flavor matches the aroma but the best part is the mouthfeel. Super smooth, easy to drink and I would have never guessed it was almost 11% abv. Incredibly well done.

Pure magic! A beautiful beer with wonderful coffee aroma and an imperial stout taste of dark bread loaf, chocolate and dark coffee. Full-bodied and creamy. The best beer in the world!

Tap at Fermentoren, Copenhagen. Poured a deep mahogany with a broken tan head. The aroma is big coffee and liqourice. The flavour is oily, medium bitter, with liqourice and dark chocolate. A super beer to drink in smaller quantities!

New small bottles (33cl), bought at ’Geers’ Oostakker.
Appearance: pitch black beer, nice stable mocha head.
Nose: very nice and complex nose, lots of coffee, but a very good coffee in this case! subtle presence of sugar, quite some alcohol, but for me this was like sniffing a very good coffee! Amazing.
Taste: lots of alcohol, very strong coffee taste, some sugar, somewhat mocha finish.
Never had the regular Civet Coffee, but after drinking this beer, I’ll try to find me a cup!

A worthy finish after returning home from CBC 2013. Pours black with two fingers of thick, creamy tan head. Looks gorgeous. Nose is tons of coffee with some chocolate malt, melasses and maybe hints of vanilla. Taste is initial cream and vanilla sweet before a huge coffee bitterness takes over. Finish is beyond lingering, it lasts forever and is rich with coffee and dark chocolate. Body is rich and creamy with low carbonation. Need to go back and buy more...

Bottle at Mikkeller Bar. Lervig version. Viscous black pour. Smell - lots of coffee and something else a bit musty - perhaps originating from the rectum of a weasel. The mouthfeel of the beer is really great - it doesn’t foam up in the mouth like most stouts - just stays oily and rich. The flavour is big coffee and big smoke. The flavour doesn’t set it apart from other stouts, but the mouthfeel and smell do.

This beer is one of the best I tried. Black as motoroil, dark brown foam, low carbonation. Very complex beer. Notes of chocolate, coffee beans, dark fruit, vanille, ... Very balanced between sweet and bitter. This beer is just perfect.
