Beers0mniac (434) - Joensuu, FINLAND - NOV 19, 2022UPDATED: NOV 19, 2022 1 year 4 months old. Pitch black with nice creamy tan head. Aroma has lots of coffee, roast with some chocolate. Taste is full of coffee with pleasant roast, balanced sweetness and mild chocolate. Finishes dry. Smooth mouthfeel, full body, average carbonation. Still great even this is so old. For coffee lovers
huineman (1237) - Madrid, SPAIN - OCT 23, 2022UPDATED: OCT 23, 2022 Bottle at Beers & Travels, served in a big, pre-heated snifter.
A very dark, glossy, brown pour, almost black, with a tan-to-cinnamon head that lasts but a moment and leaves no trace.
Aroma is intense and complex: obviously, loads of black coffee and bitter cocoa; but there's chicory, arugula, walnuts, soya sauce, Lea & Perrins...
Dry onset, medium-bodied, very bitter but well balanced thanks to the expressive crispness. Dark and dry finish that lasts less than expected.
Nik925 (942) - California, USA - AUG 7, 2022UPDATED: AUG 7, 2022 Somehow a bit alcohol forward. There is def some coffee but the chocolate shows up strong the aftertaste. Nice but punchy burnt cacao nib aftertaste. Residual sugar pushes the nibs and coffee taste but a tiny bit cloying.
fdomig (1401) - München, GERMANY - JUN 19, 2022UPDATED: JUN 19, 2022 150ml on tap at the Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Aroma is coffee, malt, dark chocolate. Appearance is black with a fine brown foam. Taste is bitter and subtle sweet. Dry! Gorgeous.
yann28 (1941) - - MAY 9, 2022UPDATED: MAY 9, 2022 Bouteille en cave depuis 2018. Liquide marron noir avec mousse compacte et persistante. Nez malt torréfié, chocolat et café. En bouche, c'est une attaque crémeuse café devançant une belle amertume chocolatée, très très belle bière !!!
Beer5000 (10126) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - APR 9, 2022UPDATED: APR 9, 2022 Bottle @ Patricks. Can’t believe I have forgotten to rate this earlier as I have had this quite a few times now. Anyway, a nice one to repeat. Black body under a fine, dense beige head. Aroma has dark, roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. The same goes for the flavor with nice bitterness in addition. Of course, this was a more impressive beer about ten years ago, but it’s still damn nice. Fine balance, lots of flavors and no stupid pastry stuff.
TtV (628) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - JAN 15, 2022UPDATED: JAN 15, 2022 Bottle 33cl. Ink black with an off white, crème head that fades somewhat. Creamy substance. Little aroma, some grain. The taste is bitter with a faint sweet undertone. Little development in the aftertaste. Nice one!
txspartan (1309) - Wilrijk, BELGIUM - NOV 27, 2021UPDATED: NOV 27, 2021 Roasted malt and coffee aroma. Head disappears fairly quickly. Chocolate and coffee flavour.
