Bottle from Systembolaget, bought in September 2011. Dark with a small head. Aroma and taste of raw coffee, some green chili and dark chocolate. The body was on the light side. Drinkable stuff.

@eddan: doftar oskördat kaffe eller kaffeblomma. Mycket kaffe i smaken men lite tunn vätska. Kanske aning choklad. Lite för snäll. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

60 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 06.04.2009
Aroma has espresso(!), well roasted malt and some dark chocolate. Flavour is rather high on espresso. Also some dark chocolate, licorice and hints of herbs. Delicious beer for coffee lovers like me. Would be even better if the palate hadn’t been a bit watery.

50cl bottle (four months past the best before date). Aroma of malt and coffee. Pours a very deep red with a small and quickly dissipating beige head and very little lacing. Tastes are roasted malt, chocolate, lots of coffee and a bit of vanilla. Medium body and a sweet taste makes this one a treat.

Backlog rating 12-04-2008. This bottled beer pours a very fizzy small tan head that quickly dissipated. The body is opaque, no lacing and the hue is black. The aroma is coffee, roasty, and malty. The flavor is semi-sweet, coffee, roasty, and malty. The palate is slick and this is a medium bodied sweet stout. Overall, I would have rated the flavor higher, but the flavor seemed to be off kilter and weak for the style. Other than that, I would recommend this beer.

Kaatuu lasiin mustana, vaaleanruskealla keskikokoisella vaahdolla, joka katoaa suht nopeasti. Haju on katkeran paahteisen kahvinen, yrttinen ja hennon makean suklainen. Maku on vahvan kahvinen, yrttinen, melko makea ja mieto, suklainen ja maitoinen. Suutuntuma on täyteläinen ja katkera. Kokonaisuutena mukava olut, jossa kuitenkin melko täyttävä kahvisuus tökkii.

Bottle. Pours opaque with a medium, creamy tan head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is earthy and spicy coffee, dark chocolate and roast malt, prunes and dates. Flavor is sweet chocolate, roast malt, velvety coffee, light hops and bitterness with dark fruity esters and a sweet finish. Medium body and carbonation.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a tan head. Sweet aroma of chocolate, caramel. Sweet coffee, chocolate flavour with some fruitiness.

60 cl bottle. Dark brown with tan fuzz. Nose is coffee, chocolate and light caramel. Milky, medium body with a buzz. Taste is coffee with cream, sweet plum and earthy cocoa nibs. Finishes a bit ashy; good, different.

Flaske på Cafe Blaagaards Apotek: behagelig aroma av mørk malt, lakris og kaffe (og rabarbra sier Einar). Kort skum. Nydelig balansert og flott munnfylde. God!
