Bottle at ratebeer tasting at CBC. Dark brown pour with a small off white head. Nose shows very heavy espresso. Bitterness jumping out at you. Smells like a bad coffee. Sometimes I wish I wasnt a coffee snob. Heavy and very bitter coffee beans in the taste. Very dry and roasty. Too bitter for my liking. Not my kind of beer

500ml bottle from Archive. Big rich creamy looking head of thick foam above a thin black beer. Coffee, vanilla and bitter dark chocolate in the aroma.full bodied in the mouth with a smooth velvet texture and a long dry finish.

Bottled (thanks SADESA). Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma is espresso, liquorice, mild roasted notes as well as some ashes. Flavour is liquorice, coffee, roasted malts and some nutty and quite hoppy finish.

0.5l bottle that says 7% abv. This is a deep dark brown one with a medium sized chocolate top that’s leaving nice lacings down the glass. It has an aroma filled with chocolate and coffee. Sweet from the chocolate and light acidic from the roasted malts and the coffee. Some dry chocolate powder as well. Perhaps a bit one dimensional, but not bad at all. The taste is quite out there on the sweet side. Feels a bit watery and thin in the mouth and it’s soft to average on the carbonation. Soft watery chocolate mainly in the taste. Some dark sweet caramel also, sweet chocolate buttery- biscuits, subtle sweet licorice tones, some cold thin coffee from a dispenser machine before it ends in with a nice hoppy bitterness in the finish. Decent, not to challenging but perhaps a tad to sweet for my fine taste buds. 10.10.2012

0.5 l bottle at Timo A’s. Black color. Sweet very roasty coffeish aroma with leather and licorice. Bittersweet coffee flavor with dark chocolate, licorice and charcoal. Full body. Clearly a coffee beer but not overboard. Good balance of roastiness and sweetness, tasty!

From a 500ml bottle on 24/12/2012 (shared with Butz). Pours very close to black with a small head. The aroma is strong and pretty much all coffee. The flavour is, not surprisingly, dominated by more coffee, with lots of chocolate and some mild roasty notes. Both the bitterness and body are medium. This is a really enjoyable, very well put together coffee stout. It actually reminds me a bit of Peche Mortel, which (from me) is very high praise.

Bottle at home. Clear black with a medium light brown head, some lacings. Aroma medium malty (roasted, coffee). Flavor light sweet, medium+ bitter (dark malts, coffee), light spicy from honey, notes of bitter licorice. Medium body, quite light.

Bottle from Vinmonopolet. Slow gusher, pours almost black with a nice sized creamy tanned head. Aroma of liquorice, chocolate and moderate roasted malts. Taste is smooth, light sweet and roasty, lots of lovely liquorice, coffe and chocolate. Light dry and bitter aftertaste. Moreish.

Pour is seal brown, and head is fizzy light camel brown. aroma is mild perculator coffee, honey, raisins and discreet sweet roasted malts. Body is light and the taste is honey sweet, and finishes sweet with burnt malt with a hint of hops.

Pours with decent head. Smell is lovely and the coffee is clearly there. Taste is nice and round. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
