28/12/2012 Brasserie 4:20 (tap). Bevuta al Pizza Port Tap Takeover. Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma beige, abbondante e molto persistente. Naso meraviglioso, cafettoso al 100%, ma non stucchevole, di grande finezza! In bocca mostra un analogo equilibrio, sbalorditivo, sembra la versione riveduta e corretta della Mout & Mocca. Corpo medio-pieno, carbonazione corretta. Che gran birra!

Pours dark and black with a huge tan head. As the name implies this is just a big coffee smelling beast. Very light hints of grass and chocolate intermingle but it smells like coffee and not bear. Amazing. Taste is sweet first, bitter and then sweet again. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean, medium to heavy body and a long finish. Best coffee stout I’ve had in a long time.

Draught @ [ Sour&Bitter 2012 ] @ Refshalevej 163A, 1432 Copenhagen K, Denmark.

Clear dark black brown colour with a average to large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to beige head. Aroma is heavy malty, coffee, roasted, strong coffee. Flavour is heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, dry. Body is medium, texture is creamy to oily, carbonation is soft. [20120510]

On draft for GABF 2012. Pours a midnight obsidian color with a tan head. Nose is roasted malt, roasted coffee, cafe con leche, and some earth. Flavor is roasted coffee, earth, some chocolate, and big cafe con leche. Big and not boozy at all, crazy stout with a ton of coffee. I wonder if they ever considered doing a Kopi version of this.

(Draught) Pours black with a pale brown head. The aroma holds coffee – gravel, green bell pepper, jalapeño oil, parsley and asphalt. Undertones of fruity, grapefruity, earthy and herbal hops alongside roasted malt, dark chocolate and roasted nuts. Aromatic and fat on the nose. The flavor is light to medium sweet, medium bitter and tiny acidic with clear coffee notes as well as chocolate, caramel, citric/herbal hops, nuts and dark caramel. The mouthfeel is round, smooth, light velvety with a light carbonation. Coffee, light liquorice, dark syrup and hops on the finish. Near full bodied.

Sample at GABF 10/13/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Opaque brown-black pour with a medium tan head and top ring of lacing. Aroma of roasted coffee and malt. Medium to full body with a nice black coffee character and notes of roasty malt and hops. The finish is moderately bitter with an espresso aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
